I saw the F.A.R. on nerfhaven.com and thought about how cool it was. Then I thought about ways to adapt it to airsoft. Then it hit me. What if I would be to change the foam dart out for a mass of bb's, in effect creating a buckshot shotshell. Well at this point I am about 30% complete and my plan is to have a sideloaded magazine with the spent shell droppingthrough the bottom of the chamber. I am going to modify the original design so that it is a pump (like a real pump shotgun) and uses not one but 3 spring airsoft gun springs.

The Far is going to be much harder than you think to make.

Look up the SCAR-N. Its pump action, doesn't need shells, and gets better range. If you can build a FAR, then you can probably figure out how to build the SCAR by looking at the CAD drawings and reading the FAR write-up.

Nerfs work the same way as spring airsoft guns. Ofcourse it can shoot airsoft bb's.

My goal was to hybridize the SCAR and FAR for cost efficiency. I don't make a ton of money so cost was definitely a factor in which rifle I chose to build.

Meh. Have fun. Both SCAR and FAR are the hardest guns to replicate.
