Homemade Airsoft Rocket Launcher

Rocket launchers are exciting to watch, and you can make your own Airsoft homemade rocket launcher that fires off a "rocket" using a few common household items. The Airsoft rocket launcher will demonstrate how a shoulder-fired rocket launcher works in real life as it fires off with a loud bang and the "missile" takes off.


Instructions


1. Use the scissors to cut off the top of the party popper. Dispose of the bottom of the party popper in the trash.


2. Stretch out the drinking straw using your fingers. Cut off one end of the drinking straw with the scissors.


3. Roll a piece of modeling clay into a small ball. Put the ball on the end of the drinking straw where it was cut. Mold the ball of clay around the end of the drinking straw to form a cone shape.


4. Take a piece of masking tape and wrap it around the cone-shaped ball of clay at the end of the drinking straw.


5. Push the cone-shaped end of the drinking straw into the top of the party popper. Slide the drinking straw down about half way through the party popper.


6. Roll a piece of modeling clay into a sausage shape.


7. Wrap the sausage shaped piece of clay loosely around the top of the party popper where it meets the drinking straw.


8. Aim the cone shaped end of the straw at a target. Pull the party popper string to fire off the drinking straw that has been turned into a missile.
