I'm so close to a functioning Worlds of Wonder Starlyte Laser Tag laser pistol with 5W of eye popping, skin burning power.
I figured if the cops kill kids over fake laser pistols, why not have a real one.

The trigger I'm using is a generic DeWalt replacement, and it's a little wider than the original but otherwise surprisingly close in dimensions. I'm cutting out plastic to make it fit and it'll be kind of a sandwich job with a little Oreo filling.

Tonight, it is gluing. Paired with a diode for reverse current protection, it has a true hardware safety switch in the form of the reverse lever/switch. It has a fully locked position as well as a full reverse- which the diode is there to prevent me sending negative power to the laser diode.
Tomorrow I'll have a 5W handheld laser pistol inside my favorite childhood toy. Always wanted it to be real.
