There is no on/off button for it. Pulling trigger activates it, and sleep timer turns it off if you just leave it.
You can also take out the batteries, but it will turn off the sound FX as well.

Or $200-$300 for an airsoft one...You can get the Movie prop replica for $1000, or Stunt prop replica for $600 or repainted Nerf version for $400
Or get this for $99 and have fun painting yourself
Or a 3d printed one for as much as you want to pay...
Airsoft all the way for me (I've currently two); that said, I am slooowly building a hero live fire.

Where can one acquire this Nerf painted one? Is there a go-to place or just find a painter pretty much
I decided to upgrade the old Marine figure base with new floor style one. I couldn't find them anymore, so I made them and printed them in my spare time.
I made it a little bit smaller than original, but looks fine I guess.

Cool bases kyekye, I have those from HT for Ripley and an Alien Warrior, but for Hicks I decided to use a generic Star Wars (they share the same floor as in Aliens). Maybe I will melt it with some acid.
Finished upgrading Hicks with new head, body and display base.
That concludes my Aliens upgrade project for the time being.
I'm also sharing my display base Model for 3D print if anyone is interested. ( just do not sell and make money off of it please )
Please note It's 'base board only' without wire holder pole.

Thought I'd share this. These are from Action Man, i.e. from vintage era 1/6th.
But I kept staring at it and it looked a little bit like Colonial Marine type bdus. With some good weathering, maybe some tea dye work, and some small modifications with sewing, I can see these being somewhat useful.
Just some thoughts. This is a great thread, I should dig out my HT Marines from the garage....
Looks great! Show us what you can do!
Great looking displays and thank you for your generosity!

Video with music of my Hicks with custom light.
Did this mod a few years ago but never did a video. In next one I gotta turn the room lights off.
Edit: attach a few pics
