Airsoft Shotgun Modification (make it cooler looking)

Airsoft Shotgun Modification (make it cooler looking)
I'll show you how change a UTG M87LA shotgun with a full stock into a cooler looking more realistic shotgun. Now this is for the people who bought the shotgun a while back, like me. I bought it like three years ago. It was before I found cooler looking shotguns. I did this for like $10. So. Let's get started. Oh. and just so you know. I did this before I found instructables. So there wont be any pics of the process but I'l show some different pictures and it'll be really detailed.

Step 1Tools

Tools
These are the tools you'll need, most of which you can probably find in your garage. If not, shiould be like $10 at the most:

1.Some PCV, PVC, I dont't now how to spell it, but about 5 inches is good. Make sure it's 1/2 inch. You can put as much as you want.

2. A hacksaw. To cut the pipe.

3. Sandpaper to sand down the pipe.

4. Some electrical tape. It's the only black stuff I had. My dad didn't want to go buy some spray paint. He thinks I'll tag stuff. Anyway. I used the electrical tape.

5.Brown spray paint. I used brown for the pumping part and the stock. You can use any color you want. You can even leave it black.

6. Screwdriver. I forgot to put it into the picture, I think it comes with one though. I can't remember. Just use a fairly small one to get the railing thing off. And if you're gonna paint it, use it to get the small screw on the pumping part.

7. some kind of marker or something. One that you don't use. You're gonna have to cut it up. And it has to be round. Like a crayola or something.

8. Hot glue gun. To glue stuff of course.

They were called clips BEFORE magazines if I am correct. They mean the same thing anyways.

i want an airsoft shotty that actually shoots more than one pellet at a time
Jun 7, 2011. 1:55 PMd2j5 says:
the M3S works great, its a tripple shot and costs around 65$. it uses 0.20g and 0.25g pellets. the regular (green) 0.12g pellets will explode inside the gun and void the warrenty. its worth it

there are different types. I have seen ones that shot bunches of twenty or so but you had to reload them from an ammo bottle after every shot. also available are ones that shoot 2 or 3 at a time but they reload when you pump. The last type is the kind that use shells.

Just get a regular shot gun and pump the pump twice or three times. Taadaa! Three pellets at once.

I bought this from a friend for 15$ and did the same thing removing the rails, I'm getting another clip and the plastic barrel cover for the aluminum barrel where the airsoft pellet/BB actually fires out of. I should probably paint it, because it looks pretty bad at the moment. Thanks for the idea.

 Hey dont dis the rail mount some people may not use it but if you have a sight its great

Taking the orange tip off is a REALLY dumb idea! Its there so the police armed with REAL guns can tell if its airsoft or not. Walking around with this surprisingly realistic gun is practically asking to get shot by the police.

I've got a great idea! you should make the shotgun look like the fully upgraded one in Bioshock! Or maybe I will. It's just a matter of getting the shotgun, How much did that one cost you? And where did you get it?
Jul 3, 2009. 1:11 PMSpiderdog3000 says:
k thanks.

cutting off the orange tip is illegal
May 13, 2009. 4:37 PMtomcat955 says:
its not illegal if you dont live in the city
Nov 7, 2008. 9:25 PMlawrence760 says:
No it isn't Its illegal to SELL an airsoft gun without the tip
Mar 29, 2009. 7:37 PMBarondando says:
This is true, you can modify toy/airsoft guns any way you like, it is not illigal, it is onl illigal to sell them like that.
Dec 30, 2008. 7:10 PMkeaganater says:
lawrence760 is right. this one time a kid amid a toy gun and it had no orange tip and the cop fired 6 shots into him
Nov 7, 2008. 9:26 PMlawrence760 says:
I might do this with my shotgun thanks By the way wouldn't I have to make a scew in the PVC pipe to have it fit, or does it just slide on.

finally, someone who gets it that rails on a shotgun are tacky...
