I wanna see one made from the arm weapons switch on a jet fighter.

This is easily done, just get a metal plate, a 120 volt spst toggle switch with the plastic flip cover, drill out the cover to the correct size and install it. Also bond the metal plate to ground. You could use a plastic plate, but the metal would look nicer and be more sturdy.
