Dollar Store Airsoft Cap Gun

Found the concept on youtube, decided that the instructables community ABSOLUTELY NEEDS it.

Basically it's a crappy but fun and cheap airsoft gun, for around $2-3 or free if you already have the stuff. (IE. Cap gun, caps, bb's)

My shooting in the video is off, but I still have to iron out a few kinks with the gun. I'm probably gonna start a new one altogether, cause I messed up the front (trying to melt the orange flash hider hah)

Pictures asap.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials.

Buy a revolver styled 8-ring cap gun, have some BBs on hand as well.

You'll need a flathead screwdriver or knife, and (if so inclined) a lighter.

Step 2: Pry Off the Flash Hider.

You see that orange flash hider, the one used to make the gun look fake, and illegal to rem- uh, nevermind

Anyways, pry it off with the screw driver and failing that, heat up the knife with the lighter to slice through the plastic. This is the hardest part basically. A straight cut is paramount to accuracy (or whatever tiny bit you have with these things)

Looks pretty sweet if you cut it off, I personally think the snub nosed look is kickass.

Step 3: Load Airsoft BB's and Caps

Load your BB's into the 8-ring slots opposite where the caps go. Mine worked with 6mm BBs, others might be different. Pop the caps on the back.

Step 4: Try It Out.

Hopefully yours works, it's hella fun to play with. And isn't a cheap dollar store airsoft gun with bullet flash and actually using the principles of a real gun what the world needs?

Note, mine works using the trigger but some have reported their guns only work using the hammer.
