How to Make Airsoft Paper Guns
Airsoft guns can mimic real weapons but can also be homemade from items commonly found around the house, like paper. You can make an airsoft paper gun that will fire off a projectile as good as any that can be bought in a store and will cost you next to nothing. You will need a few supplies and some modeling clay from a hobby shop. The paper airsoft gun should not take you more than 10 minutes to make.
