I am back from a short vacation. Thanks to everyone who placed an order while I was gone!
As a thank you for your patience, every order that was placed while I was gone has also received a free gift! A Tiny Dinosaur kit (with two superfine-tipped jeweler’s tweezers) has been added to every order [...]
I sometimes get asked about basic (non-computerized) MOSFET switches. Here is how to make a basic one. If you have at least basic soldering and electronic skills, you should be able to put one together without too much trouble.
Many people transition to sidearms when getting into close quarters, since most guns nowadays shoot pretty hot. Now, other people bring up the fact that doing it for safety’s sake is a little weird since modern gas pistols actually shoot at least as hard as most electric rifles nowadays.
We all know that .12g BBs have [...]
Over at Airsoft Canada (and now also Arnie’s Airsoft forums) I had – in the Halloween spirit – started the first annual IZSC (Internet Zombie Shooting Competition)! I think it was a fun success. Here’s how it worked.
If you have an Airsoft pistol, a printer, and somewhere to safely shoot, you are ready!
A high-power LED (and not much else!) is used in this project to provide a muzzle-flash effect for an electric Airsoft gun. It’s an extremely simple mod that can add a dramatic effect to firing, especially in darkened or indoor areas.
This is an experimental project; it is very simple but like any project found around [...]
A Trigger Master is modded to fire only 30 rounds from a magazine before requiring a mag change to “reload”. With this mod, a couple highcaps can simulate an endless number of 30-round magazines! As an added feature, the gun will not fire unless a mag is inserted, and tactical reloads (reloading before [...]
This is just for fun – I simulated AEG Jamming by installing a switch and modifying the programming in a Trigger Master.
The Trigger Master is not just for giving your AEG 3-round bursts! It does a lot more than that under the hood, and it’s capable of even more. It’s a fully computer controlled electronic fire control system for your AEG which has capabilities miles beyond the dumb switch your gun comes with.
This tutorial [...]

This simple DIY solution to illuminating tracer BBs works great and uses very few parts, but does require some careful cutting and fitting.
Everything is contained inside a locap magazine – no modifications are made to the gun whatsoever. The magazine can turn the tracer effect on or off at will, so you can [...]
Made entirely from parts found in the 1$ store, these use a very small toy-grade explosive to make a nice loud BANG!
This is a companion project to the Stealth-Action Motion Sensor. It’s Hollywood-style security systems.
With these, you can make your very own security system that gives intruders a sporting chance! It’s the laser-version of saying “But before I kill you, Mister Bond…”
Have you ever watched a spy film, or played a stealth-action video game (like Metal Gear Solid) where the hero deftly bypasses the high-tech alarm system? Well, this system is just like that – gives the intruder a sporting chance. (And it’s even shootable if you add some parts.)
The APS2 is a great bolt-action Airsoft rifle with 25 round magazines that fit in the forward part of the stock. I attempted to make a conversion for the APS2 to accept G3 magazines. This would allow the APS2 to essentially use a Hi-cap magazine (although it was still a bolt-action, of course).
The SG/5F gun is a custom-made Gas-blowback assault rifle.
It doesn’t exist in real life, but at least it’s made completely from H&K Parts.
I read about converting a regular gas valve into a hiflow valve on a discussion board and decided to try it out.
All you need is a normal valve (such as from an unmodified magazine) and a file.
This little beastie is one step closer to a robotic Airsoft player. It’s an automated gun turret.I made it mostly because I could, but also for use in CQBs (indoors would be best) where it could be placed on guard around corners, etc. It could also be used as a booby trap. Since [...]
This is a precision battery discharger for 8.4V 7-cell Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries. I made a cheap, reliable discharger circuit with an easy visual indication of the battery’s state (discharging or discharged) with less than 10$ of parts. Most parts can be found around the house or taken from broken electronic equipment – or at [...]
This project details how to make a momentary on/delay switch for anti-fog mask fans.
This simple circuit provides a little more control over the fan you use in your Airsoft or Paintball mask. Most fans provide a switch to turn the fan on or off. This little circuit will keep the fan on as long as [...]
This is a prototype of a mechanical/electronic trigger system for a BB Trap. The trap fires a Mosquito Molds 165 BB Shower grenade shell at anyone that wanders into its field of view.
It’s a little ugly, being a prototype, but’s it’s more solid than it looks.
Mini airsoft guns are the cute and light versions of their more expensive counterparts.
They can be handy for fiddling with, and I was interested in seeing just how much tampering I could do to a mini MP5 and whether the performance could be enhanced usefully at all. I wound up fitting extra batteries, an [...]
This project is a high-precision Airsoft Rate of Fire meter.This is a proof-of-concept that shows that a few dollars’ worth of simple components can be used to accurately detect the firing of a BB. That event can then be fed into a counter over a specific period of time to result in an accurate [...]
This is about as simple as it gets. I made a cheap, reasonably accurate laser sight for my Glock out of a few spare parts and a spare scope ring.
You can probably use the same concept for other guns and other homemade accessories.
