You mean, you want it to shoot when you drop ammo down the barrel? Just wire a camera flash circuit up to a momentary switch in the side of the barrel, the ammo falling down would hit the switch and trigger the spark.

Or just take 2 screws and put them in the side, and then hook it up to your stun gun(the power switch) and then have some alum foil on the bottom of your ammo so this way when it falls it will complete the circuit and make it fire.

Good luck with it.

you would need a stopper, like a bolt or something. the lower part would be the chamber and the upper part would be the barrel.... i think.
