Introduction: Extreme Airsoft Pen Gun

About: I love to tinker and make things from other things. I post videos on my Youtube channel that showcase some of the silly homemade inventions and gadgets that I mess with. I'm also the guy with the most viewed …

In this EASY instructable, I'll show you how to make a super cool bb pen gun with just a few items.

Here's what you'll need -

  • A white board marker pen
  • A regular pen with an internal diameter of 6mm (Stabilo Point 88)
  • Barbecue lighter
  • Rubbing alcohol or Isopropyl alcohol
  • and some miscellaneous tools and items that will be discussed in each step.

*PLEASE READ*
If you decide to attempt this project, then you are responsible for your own stupidity - Try this at your own risk. There may be risks of which I am not aware. Even though I've called this project 'safe to use indoors' , use the proper safety equipment and have a fire extinguisher handy if possible. Do not fire these rockets at humans, animals or property that does not belong to you. Stay safe and have fun!

Step 2:

Find yourself a white board marker pen.

Step 3:

Next, you'll need to take the pen apart using a pair of pliers.

We'll use this piece as a blast chamber. (Picture 2)

and this piece will become the muzzle. (Picture 3)

Step 4:

Find a barbecue lighter and remove the igniter from inside.

Then find a drill bit that matches the diameter of the igniter and drill a hole at the back of the blast chamber.

Step 5:

Heat up a small screwdriver or nail and pierce a hole at the back of the blast chamber like this.

Step 6:

Cut the wires on the igniter to about half an inch and then insert the igniter, with the bottom wire, into the hole you drilled earlier.

Step 7:

Push the other wire through the smaller hole that you made and use hot glue to hold everything together and create a tight seal.

Wrap the blast chamber in electrical tape or paint it to give it a custom look.

Step 8:

Find a pen with an internal diameter of 6 millimeters.

Cut off the ends and remove the ink cartridge.

This will be the barrel of the pen gun

Step 9:

Grab the muzzle piece and drill out the front to make a hole big enough to accommodate the barrel.

Apply some hot glue on both ends to hold it in place and give it a tight seal.

You might want to wrap the muzzle in electrical tape to match the blast chamber. Of course, this step is optional.

Step 10:

To load your pen gun, dip a cotton bud in some rubbing alcohol and apply it to the inside of the blast chamber.

All you need to do now is load a bb into the back of the barrel.

Then assemble your pen gun and then press the igniter to fire!
