Question

Will a copper BB work?

Community Answer

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 do I make an Airsoft gun out of a Nerf rifle that shoots balls?

Community Answer

Block off all forms of air escape except the barrel, and use a straw or pen tube there. Make sure air goes through the tube.

Question

How do I make this one with the Retaliator?

Viktor Simbulan

Community Answer

It might be hard to make it with a Retaliator since it is clip-fed. Try a Jolt, or any other front-loaders.

Question

Can I use the Nerf RaptorStrike to do this? If so, how?

Community Answer

No, it is a clip loader so it probably wouldn’t work. Try a front-loader, like a Jolt.

Question

Can I use a straw instead of a pen tube to make an Airsoft gun out of a Nerf gun?

Community Answer

Yes you can they will both work the same, just don’t twist or bite the straw.

This is easy; just rip it off or cut it with scissors. It's that simple.

Question

Can the pen come flying out and hit you in the hand?

Devin Hall

Community Answer

If the dart is loose, then yes. Make sure it stays in the blaster and shoot it at the wall a couple of times to make sure it stays in.

Question

Can you fix the blaster into a foam-flinging toy, or is it stuck as an Airsoft gun forever? Is there a way to make a mag-fed Airsoft gun from a Nerf blaster?

WikiBirdWatcher834

Community Answer

Yes, you can turn it back into a regular Nerf gun. All you have to do is remove the foam tube and pen from the barrel.

Question

Can you do this with an Eagle Point or a Commander?

Community Answer

You can do it with a Nerf Commander but not an Eagle Point, because an Eagle Point is mag-fed, while a Commander is a front-loader.

Question

My pen always shoots out. What’s wrong?

WikiBirdWatcher834

Community Answer

Your pen is probably too small to fit properly in the nerf dart. A simple fix would be to get a larger pen.

Question

Is this safe for 12-year-old children?

WikiBirdWatcher834

Community Answer

It depends on the gun. If it is a strong Nerf gun (one that can hurt from a distance), it may break the skin with a BB.
