Hey Jason,
Would you mind helping me find/locate one of the lasers for myself, I think I could use it for something.

well, the one i got came from
www.wickedlasers.com. they're really the only people i've dealt with in terms of buying high powered lasers. If you're interested though, i've got a spare blue one i dont really use. PM me for details if you're interested.
EDIT
I was browsing through some of the excellent reference shots provided by Xavier and i'm glad I did. As it turns out, theres a purplish/pink light running along the barrel's sides as well as a small portal in the back of the drum mag where this light is visible.
now that i've seen this, i'm already planning far ahead in the construction process to account for these finds.
I'm figuring now instead of wiring the laser pointer to the trigger and letting the beam run down the length of the gun that something else should be done.
one would involve putting a clear plastic screen over the barrel lines and switching the laser on and using that to light the interior, then rigging a small cover to the muzzle so when the triggers depressed, the cover opens and lets the beam shine out.
Now that i'm thinking about it, a better idea would be to follow in smik's steps with his LED kit for the spiker and ream out the channels where the lights at and install LED's and cover it with tinted semi-transparent plastic. then just use the laser as originally planned.
if anyone else has any creative ideas on illuminating these parts, i'm open to suggestion.
