Does anyone have any good plans for how to build homemade pellet guns. My parents just took all of my guns, even my 400 dollar paintball gun.

If they just took all of your professionally built guns, what makes you think they won't take away a home made airsoft gun?


Also, search/use the wiki.

buy this first

http://www.southsummit.com/catalog/prod ... cts_id=629

it comes with a 35 lb spring ( i think, it may be more, but i dont know) it comes with a rubber piston that fits PERFECTLY in 1'' SCH40 pvc. I bought this and it works great. I didnt make a new gun, i was just fixing my pellet gun (i bought it). Use a easton aluminum arrow shaft as a barrel. the trigger and things like that are for you to figure out. i just thought id share with you where to get a spring and piston.

Yeah, so what if it is .177 caliber. 1/4inch break line works just fine. The only problem is the valve, which could be a piston valve. Easy, and very high performance.
I'm weird, I know it, you don't need to tell me.

if ya gonna do it man, make sure you can/will deal with the consequences if you do happen to get caught with it.

if not talk with ya parents and see if they will trust you enough to give your old guns back. (unless they sold them). then well idk, i got a secret hole in mi cupboard wall to hide shit in so yer do what ya want i think.

peace

I was searching around the net, and just so happens I found a page that has a couple of guys (probably university-type and indian by the looks of it) that built a pellet gun, its hand gun style, but it seems a tad hard to make. check it out anyway...

I suppose the only downside to it is getting all the needed components, and stuff like that, and you'd probably need access to a lathe of some description. also a welding facility, thats probably the main thing you need.

Good luck with getting your guns back.

Indeed, what did you do?

But I think the best course of action is to talk to your parents and see about getting the confiscated items back. Anything else will take longer and work less well.

I made a pellet gun using nerf ideas and changing the barrel.

here's the link for the instructions
