45. Machine Gun Sounds

Press the switch (62), you will hear some siren from the speaker (93). When you touch
the touch plate (80) the sounds will turn into gun sounds. Tightly press the touch plate
(80), now it is machine gun sounds. You may need to lick your fingers before touching the
touch plate (80) to make this project work effectively.
