Need some help looking for a type of switch.

I am trying to locate a latching rotating switch. A simple, turn one way it's on and turn back it's off. Anybody heard of something like that? Or where I can find it?

It might be easier to rig up a miniature slide switch like you might find on a toy with a disk cover that pushes the slider based on how you turn it.

A quick google search for "latching rotary switch" turns up a few options.

The problem is with most rotary switches. You rotate the switch the same direction to turn it off or on. I am looking for something that's bi directional. I want to switch between single fire and full auto on a prop I have using a selector arm..

Sounds like a fire selector for something like an AR your best bet for something that functions in that way may be to rig a selector on the outside that closes one of two small limit switches inside the prop depending upon which way it is oriented

That's what I am going for.. I am using a Blaster Core V5.0 The way the Auto/Single fire works is either off or on.. (It does work with a simple latching switch). So It doesn't use two separate switches. This is for a fallout style plasma rifle so I am trying to stick with "analog" style switches..
