We have all had those Star Wars fantasies, being Han Solo running through the death star shooting those pesky storm troopers.  But alas!  You can't shoot storm troopers the same with a Nerf gun as you can with a LASER GUN.  And it's also hard when you have no idea how electronics work.  So I have created this Instructable for those with NO electronic knowledge on how to create a laser gun. This is more like a laser pointer though, but thats what happens when you leave out all those fun little parts.

WARNING: Don't point a laser into anyones eyes, and don't look into a laser aperture!

Step 1Stuff you'll need

laser
wire
momentary push button switch(make sure its easy to press)
solder
soldering gun(no precision tip needed)
hot glue
hot glue gun
9 volt battery
9 volt battery hook-up
click on, click off switch(optional, make sure its easy to press)
LED(optional)
2 AA batteries(goes with led)
2 AA battery holder(goes with the led)

Most of this stuff you can get at radio shack except for the laser and hot glue. I ordered the laser online at All Electronics for $7(plus $7 shipping.ARRRRG!!!) and the hot glue you can get at a craft store. If you don't want to solder you can use hot glue, but I don't highly recommend doing that, you have a good chance of the electric current not making it to the other wire.
