So I had a few obstacles last night to putting the gun together:
1. I needed to get the wifi to fit
2. The switch I created was too big, plus with using the micro-usb on the RPi itself now for power, the switch is largely non-functional and I had a wire connector hanging off in space that needed to be dealt with
3. The connectors I made for the Power/Start/Options switches in addition to the thickness of the wires - causes too much strain on the little pins on the buttons - so I had to cut the black/red extension twisted wires I had made - solder them on, and then twist/tape them (so its not permanent) - need to figure out some kind of connector later.
Additional replies for how I dealt with each issue...
