Hi thank you for this Q & A!

I am wondering - Is it possible to make homemade Airsoft Guns? If so, what kind and how?

Do you then just buy regular pellets from the store or can you also make pellets"

Hi, Taylor, thank you for your question.

It is possible, but airsoft guns aren’t simple things. Unless you have the skills and machinery to machine precision parts such as pistons, barrels etc you’d have to rely on buying the basic mechanism from somewhere.

What many people do is buy a donor gun with the kind of mechanism they want, strip its innards out and fit them into a gun of their own design.

As for the ammo, you’d have to use bought ammo. If you didn’t you’d have very little consistency in ammo size, shape or weight which would lead to a nightmare of misfires, jams and inaccuracy. Not fun, accckk!

Hope this helps you!
