The idea of a cheap, DIY, fully automatic airsoft gun is pretty enthralling on its own, but what if I told you there was not only a $5 burst fire model you can fire by hand, but also a backpack mounted, flamethrower-style variant? Amateur pellet-gun armament just got real. Nighthawkinlight, mastermind behind the original soda bottle airsoft firearm now presents us with two modifications that can make it even cooler, in two distinct ways. A DIY airsoft gun upgrade tree, if you will.

I always wanted an Airsoft gun as a kid, but I ran into two big problems: They tended to be expensive, and even if I had then money, no one was going to sell me one unless I was eighteen or had parental approval. Yeah right. If only I'd known then that I could make an fully-automatic Airsoft gun out of a soda bottle and some air compressor bits. Of course, had I known that then, I probably wouldn't have made it all the way to adulthood with a full complement of eyes. Still, I wish I'd known.
