The twist on the front barrel has nothing to do with the barrel extension, correct? The twist is just for fun?

Correct. Watch the scene where the guys step out of the elevator, Ray extends the barrel of his Proton Gun without performing the twist movement.

Magnetic latching system is really clever and I love the look of the bargraph.

Incredible stuff in here! Saving this one for reference later.

Wow dude excellent work. I'm definitely using your thread a s a reference for my next thrower. One question though. Is the barrel light that blue in person or is it more of a white color? Sorry if you answered already but what type of battery are you using to power your entire system ( mAh). Trying to get an idea of run times with this + amp + arduino lights.

As far as wiring goes, do you have both the supply voltage to the controller and the bulb wires connected to a switch and button respectively? I don't know off hand, but I would assume the controller draws some power even in a stand by state. It would make sense to be able to cut the power to the controller when not firing to preserve power. Is that a correct assumption?

ps. Could you link the switch and button you used? Want to make sure I get the correct size. Thanks !

i really wish the pictures were still in this thread lol. i like the concept of the mechanism but definitely don't feel confident in my ability to reproduce it based on what little is left on the thread lol

Necro bump. Does anyone still have saved somewhere photos of the latching extension system described in this thread?

This is the only one I could find:
