            That’s a tough one. I think I’d like to see all the guns fire - so I guess it’s the 2nd option.
            Cheers, P

                All of them Chris, you are the master of electrics my friend, you can do it.
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                    AN a later voter Hello Garry an you like Paul like all 4 guns firein well i think i have worked out how to make the best of both worlds here with a two small two way switch so flick the switch one way an just main guns will fire alternatly
                    an then flick the switch in the other way an there should be all 4 guns firein for when she's in a model show. BUT an yes there is a BUT I havnt treid it yet as yes i can visulise it in my mind but gettin it to work will be the problem as i will try this all out today but first to find a small two way slide switch as i have got them but since jen tidyed up the bench an my parts box well i will be lookin for a while to find them Aaaaaaacccccchhhhhhh so wish me luck guys
                    ATB ALL

                                WELL Garry cant do what i wanted to do with a double pole two way switch as the switch needs 3 wires an there is only 2 neg wires goin to sound unit so it ethier one or the other an l like the main guns goin alternatatly an you will see if you look at the wirein diogram so im stuck but at least i'll have the main guns goin alternatatly so im happy an un happy at how much time i wasted on the 3 inch guns keep them as spares
