System and method for mechanically activated laser

A method comprising the steps of:

• creating a normally closed electrical circuit, the electrical circuit being electrically connected to a recoil spring, a ball bearing, and a conductive seal;
• pulling a trigger to move a striker pin;
• moving the ball bearing by contacting the ball bearing with the striker pin, thereby opening the normally closed electrical circuit;
• and
• actuating a light source based on the opening of the normally closed circuit.

A simulated weapon, the simulated weapon comprising:

• a normally open electrical control circuit, the normally open circuit comprising;
• a conductive seal electrically coupled to the normally open circuit;
• a ball bearing being electrically coupled to the normally open circuit via the conductive seal, the ball bearing being configured to selectively contact the conductive seal at a contact point;
• and
• a recoil spring, the recoil spring being electrically coupled to the normally open circuit via the ball bearing, the recoil spring contacting the ball bearing and urging the ball bearing to contact the conductive seal;
• a light source, the light source being electrically coupled to the circuit and being selectively actuated by the normally open circuit;
• a striker, the striker being configured to selectively contact the dislodge the ball bearing;
• and
• a trigger, the trigger being configured to engage the striker and urge the striker from a first position to a second position.
