Since the only know type of airsoft barrel i can buy is a Real airsoft barrel that will cost me about 40 bucks. I cant order anything off the internet and im trying to find a airsoft barrel that could be found at homedepot/autozone Etc. Do any of you guys know of a good barrel?

Brake line or fuel line of some sort? It comes in many sizes.

I know from experience that 1/4" brake line makes a great .177 cal barrel, and for airsoft I've heard 3/8" brake line is good (but I have not tried this). For a short barrel, I found that 1/8" galvanized is great if you use a drill bit to remove the weld seam (nice because it has NPT threaded ends and is great for a pistol-BBMG).

For my inline vortex guns I've been using 6mm aluminum tubing ordered from McMaster.com

I've heard that 5/16 breakline works good.

1/4" ID tubing is quite good.

I bought some 5/16" dia. fuel line and it works great if you saw off the tapered ends. Its only 18" though...I dont know if that gives a significant power reduction.

Make sure you buy a seamless pipe.

I second this, just sleeve it in something more rigid.
