Great stuff!
Any plans for including sound as well?

As part of the controller?
At this time no. I would suggest using one of these. Connect the play button to the trigger. so when you press trigger it plays the sound clip. Now all we would need is a clean sound clip.
This 9V Recording Module stores up to 20 seconds of sound and plays it back instantly at the touch of a button. You can use the module to create a digital notepad and record reminders, to-do lists, phone numbers and more. Attach the module to a greeting card and the recipient will hear your message "live". All included components are prewired. Requires a 9V battery (not included).

new pics. The electronics are not connected yet. Thought I would show how I was doing the electronics for those still wondering how. And I show how I am doing the side-plates, not sure how I will attach them yet, probably magnets or small screws.

Looks great. Similar to my build. How is the electronics panel held on place? I used magnets

I will probably use Velcro to hold the electronics board and battery in place,( stop any rattling). I have the side panels cast and almost ready to mount.
and may use magnets to hold the side panels in place.

Question for someone with access to a screen used rifle...
What color black is it?
In the show, I see at times a flat black, other times a semi gloss with little reflection of the armour.
