So this is what I'm working on. It's going to be a unique weapon based off of a character's gun from one of my books. If you don't recognize it, it's an old metal paintball gun. I'm going to be wiring it up with a glowing "energy cell" that can be removed, as well as some other lights and possibly even some sound at one point, but here's the part I'm having trouble with:
the character's gun is supposed to emit a bluish/white "flash" instead of a typical blaster bolt. my first thought is to just use a camera flash, as that would replicate the effect almost perfectly...but I'm having trouble sourcing a flash bulb (and I'm sure a required capacitor/controller) that will fit into the barrel which is only about 10mm wide. I tried looking on ebay, but apparently I don't know what I'm looking for. Any ideas?
