ok, so like in the title, this is a tut on how to make the shorting pin and keylock on the alpha series useless,
the uses of this mod are that the safety switches that you override are actually overkill, appature and 3 sec timer are way enough(imo)
WARNING: this could be irreversible, so don't do the mod without knowing what you're doing, and its not my fault if this mod breaks your laser, and all the other stuff
first take the battery cap off and if you look inside, you should notice that there are 2 holes in the white plastic bit, take a small drill make the holes bigger, and then use a plier to screw the plastic bit out
it should look like this, jsut that inside the silver bits used to be black coating which you also have to get rid of(file or something) this is required to make the contact between the small copper bit in the plastic and the cap, instead of going through the keylock and shorting pin
now like in the next pic put a piece of wire, if possible not single strand, braid or whatever its called in the circular bit so that it's long enough to touch the unprotected metal that you "freed" before
well thats it, put the plastic cap back on and you're done, hold it upside down to prevent the copper bit from falling down and put it in the way you took it out
well thats it, i'll be making somemore photos later, and plz comment(1st tut and i know it sucks... )
