This is how to make a cool airsoft gun out of a Nerf gun. Note: the bigger the gun the better; a pump Nerf gun gives you more fps (feet per sec).

Steps

  1. 1
    Get a Nerf gun; any will do.
  2. 2
    Get a Nerf Dart (the ammo for Nerf gun) and pull the end off of it. You will have a foam tube.

  3. 3
    Get a Bic pen and use pliers to take out the back and front so you have a tube.
  4. 4
    Stick the Bic pen tube into the foam tube; nearly half of the pen should be covered by the dart.
  5. 5
    Place the dart end into the barrel, push down on the dart as far as you can, then push the pen tube into the barrel.
  6. 6
    Cock and shoot nothing a few times to ensure that it doesn't fall out.
  7. 7
    Cock and shoot at your hand, if air pressure is present, good job!

    It may, but it is a little smaller than the Airsoft BB. If it doesn't work, you could try using a smaller pen tube.
  • Question
    How can I do this with a Sharpfire?

    You cannot, unfortunately. The Sharpfire is impossible to modify in this way.
