Hey there, everyone! I'm in the process of making a prop gun from one of my favorite comic books "Scud: The Disposable Assassin." I was first just going to make it solid resin, but after a bit of thinking, I realized that it'd be a lot cooler if it emitted gunfire sound effects and flashed lights out the barrels...kinda like those chintzy space guns you saw at the five and dime only with better/louder sound quality and really bright LED's.
Now the prop in question is a sort of futuristic pistol with three barrels and two switches on the top. While they never really explain matters fully in the comic, I assumed the switches on top of the gun were intended to "activate" the other two barrels: No switches pulled, one barrel fired. 1 switch flipped, the bottom two barrels fired. Both switches pulled, all three barrels fired.
Here's my question: Is it possible to rig a sound/light thingie to work the exact same way? What I would like is if the trigger is held and no switches are flipped, a continuous machine-gun fire mp3/wav would sound and the bottom barrel would flash an LED rhythmically. If the trigger is held with ONE of the switches pulled, the bottom two barrels would flash their LED's and you'd hear TWO DIFFERENT machine-gun fire mp3's sound. With the trigger held and BOTH switches activated, all three barrels would flash (out of sync with each other, of course) and THREE DIFFERENT machine-gun fire mp3's would sound. Keep in mind that if it makes matters easier, I'd be willing to give up the three different sound effects as long as the strobing of the three LED'S were still intact.
I remember that Italian fellow who did up his E-11 with an amazingly elaborate soundboard, but I've forgotten his name. However if anyone else has any idea on whether a.) My idea is possible and b.) Roughly how much will it cost, I would appreciate it immensely.
Thanks in advance, guys!
