An "airsoft" weapon refers to any homemade weapon that fires a projectile and resembles the imitation weapons first created by the Japanese in the 1980s. You can make your own airsoft-type minigun from a few items commonly found around the house. No mechanical expertise or gunpowder is needed. You will have to purchase a projectile to shoot from a hobby or toy store.
