Step 1 Gathering the materials

Here is a list of the materials you will need to create your homeade Airsoft gun.

List
1. Nerf Gun*
2. One pen**
3. Duct tape
4. Pair of pliers
5. Some Airsoft bullets

• It is usually best to use a Nerf gun that has a single barrel to put Nerf bullets in.

** If you want a longer barrel, you will need more than one pen. Just use some duct tape to attach two together. Just keep in mind, the longer the barrel, usually the more accurate. But, the more barrels you add the more of a chance the bullet will shoot off course because of imperfect taping.

Unless youre poor or want a unique gun on the battlefield, i suggest buying an actual airsoft gun. My TAR21 shoots 460 FPS...

[DB2016]

Unless you're going to throw $200 on a plaything, I suggest investing in a cheap nerf gun and converting it.

Seriously, if you want to brag, do it where someone cares.

thats not a real bayonet its a  butter knife

[bubba j]

Yes no one relized that But any ways if you look at the picture the kids like seventeen so why in the world would he have a real one AND if your seventeen why is this kid wearing cardboard instead of a sweatshirt

[35Timmy]

i did nodice besides they did not have plastic back then in the amercian civil war and that tube byonet was also plastic and was made from a pen

[Everett_McKinley]

Nice idea! But I wish there was a better way to keep the BBs in the barrel.

[MCortez815]

Hey, does anyone know a way to make it so the BB stays in the back of the barrel instead of rolling out? There must be some sort of way to use adhesive to get it to stay until fired.

[AustralLord]

my gun can rip through carboard boxes and stick to the behind wall (of the box) from ten feet, watch out for this!

[dontkillpenguins]

my gun can go throuh dry wall walls

[CapnTac]

Yes, well, you probably don't use airsoft guns made out of pens and nerf guns.

[apples!!!!!]

actually, i made this and it does go through cardboard from 10-15 feet away

[Rocket Boy]

what gun did you use? i used a tech target gun and it leaves welts at 35+ ft. cardboard? pffft... t layers with rubber band mod and simple 2 pen hopper will shoot 20 rounds a fast as you pull back the cock thing.

[jay jay]

i used a tech target too it dont work what do i do

[Rocket Boy]

i'll send you a pic when i get home from work tonight.

[AustralLord]

Exactly why doesn't it work? It should work, unless it's broken or faulty.

[jay jay]

it fire just bad and ive tried everything

[AustralLord]

If the gun is broke, its broke, nothing you can do, but if it isn't broken, make sure that the barrel is sealed where it meets the gun, if the gun is not sealed properly, the air escapes and cannot propel anything

[AustralLord]

Does it fire regular nerf darts bad too?

[ancor man]

lol just addding to the reply line

[CapnTac]

HELP! SPAMMER ALERT!!!ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[BobicusIX]

[AustralLord]

[apples!!!!!]

i used the nerf night finder or something, and it hurts from far away....ten #64 rubberbands on the back though....

[fishyfish777]

Pen + Air compresser + BB Or, just use an real airsoft gun... lol.

[Ikedog1995]

[AustralLord]

[luke11wolf]

[mmme99]

[ol987986]

just a suggestion:y not get a mcdonalds straw insted(bb's fit in it) and pull the cap off a nerf dart and simply put the straw inside( it fits)?

[jdanan]

the straw's too soft

[ol987986]

worked 4 me :)

[TehDuckzor]

[glockofdoom]

Hells yah!

[lowe]

I used to be like you, making airsoft guns out of nerf, cuz i coulnd hav an airsoft gun. now im an airsoft noob with alot of GOOD guns and i use my nerf guns as targets

[Stratles2]

why doesnt everyone just buy a real airsoft gun

[oh1134]

because nerf guns have bigger plunger tubes AND THEREFORE MORE POWER AND THEREFORE ARE GOODERS then airsoft.

[danner]
