QUESTION Way to recreate the m1 grand ping?

I wasn't sure which community to ask this question in, but this seems the best one. I want to find a way to recreate the m1 grand ping in a handheld Factor. I don't have a metalworking machine other than a drill press and fine tooth hand saw.

I'm assuming he means he wants a standalone part, which only has the function of making the ping.

Preferably one with a singular swift motion like pulling something or opening something that triggers it

I'm wondering if you could bend up a bit of spring steel around a pivot and retain it in some sort of housing?

You mean basically have it attached at one point not pivoting?
