Airsoft to steel BB conversion?
« on: March 22, 2009, 03:46:41 PM »
  I don't have any airsoft guns and know very little about them, though I do have some experience working on airguns.

  My question is, can I convert an airsoft rifle to fire steel BBs?  Is it just a barrel swap with some fitting?  Or is it a completely different animal?  What I want to do is make a reasonable facsimile of the carnival "shoot the star out of the target" BB Tommy gun.  Originals are really hard to come by and getting nothing but more collectable.  I can get a Thompson airsoft as easy as clicking "Buy it NOW".  If I can re barrel it to shoot BBs, or chilled shot like the originals, that would make my day.
