The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Well I am used to the standard static .56 led. On Halloween the thing put out a bunch of heat and I think fried a couple led's. So now it reads gibberish instead of 95. I would like to use the disk batteries like in watches or car remotes to save space. Its a tight fit where I have the AA's as the mag rubs them when inserting and extracting the mag. Like I said im no electric whiz and I would like to get advice from others as some may know its ease to fry the leds it not properly wired or wrong voltage.

There are certainly alternatives: when I made my pulse rifle cake I built a little self-contained unit for the LED and a single watch-type battery.

The battery was a CR2032 which is 3V. I tested it first and it ran for over a day without any problems. :)
