The
Airsoft Gun:
We picked this little beauty up at the local mega-lo-mart for about 19.00 USD. There are mainly 2 different types of airsoft guns, CO2 and Electric. Now don’t let the electric title sway you. This gun is capable of 350 rounds per minute at 175 FPS and runs on only 4 AA batteries (6 Volts DC) and is perfect for all the modifications we will need to do to it. Alternately if you wanted to use the CO2 Powered versions you would need to come up with a mechanical method of firing them. |

The
Turret Base:
So this will be the brains of the operation. We picked this USB missile launcher up from thinkgeek.com for 40.00 USD. Basically we will be replacing the entire missile launching head from this with the airsoft guns guts.

Super Glue:
Other than some basic tools this is the only thing we will be using for assembly. It’s quick, strong and long lasting. And it likes to react with the plastic for a good deep bond of plastics. At 2.00 a bottle for the good stuff is a fair deal. This would be equivalent to a medium cyanoacrylate for model builders. |
Tools
that we used ( i.e. you may want to use as well )
One note on power tools:
use them at your own risk. Be sure to read and understand
any and all documentation on the tools you use.
No amount of documentation can make up for experience,
but there are many people with serious eye injuries from
the school of hard knocks. If you don't know what
you are doing, don't do it, and find some one that
can help.
