Take it to the hardware store and find a threaded brass or steel nipple that has an ID of a tiny bit more than 8mm. Epoxy the arrow shaft into it. The tap a hole in some PVC and screw in the barrel.

I did that with my bb gun. I used a 1/4 inch brass nipple, duct tape, and a little epoxy. It works great. Ive never had it fall off or crack or anything like that.
