it's a diagram of a spring bolt airsoft gun. it's really simple, powerful and you don't have to buy Co2 or pump it's quick to!!!
the bolt slides in the hammer/pump and you pull back, pump follows the bolt until it locks on trigger and you push hammer forward (the pump/hammer stays on trigger) then you lock the bolt in the bolt lock.
AND FIRE! Ps tell me if you don't get it.
also its nice to have a stock more cumfy

I know the danger of springs is going to be mentioned during this thread, but i say go for it. Behind the bb's, that air stopper would be hard to make in my opinion, and probably isn't that nessesary, but it could boost performance a bit.

Edit: Now that i am thinking about it, i really dont think that stopper would help at all because it would just limit flow and would probably cause bad performance. Correct me if i am wrong though.

Another Edit: Alright, now i think that it would only work if you were using extremely stiff springs. That piston would have to move very far and compress a lot of air to reach that hammer valve, and that small valve would need a stiff spring also to keep that pressure in until hit by the bolt. Final decision... But the drawing is probably not drawn to scale... im stopping now.

its basically a spring bolt gun you know the ones u see on youtube
in about a month or my next school holidays ill try to make it its gonna be hard cos i live in australia

spring airsoft rifles are relatively cheap and provide good performance without the hassle and dangers of making your own.. I do like making my own guns and I understand, but I really don't think it is worth all the effort for a spring rifle.. I understand if you are from an are where airsoft is illegal and I understand the advantages of spring rifles over a useable power source.

Just my 2 cents.

yeah and what WAHT dangers???!?! i dont want to loose a finger or somin

Rag has a nasty scar on one finger from trying to make a springer.... *waits for rag's input*

so i agree with Davidvaini, buying one is definitely a better option.

That doesn't seem to be a feasible option in Australia.

What exactly do you want from this design? If it's a repeater to be used for skirmishing, I suppose a low powered magazine fed springer would be an ideal choice. For anything else however, a simple pneumatic would offer much higher power potential and be much easier to construct. A combustion launcher would be even easier to make. I would take this into consideration before proceeding with a springer.

the backwards hammer valve won't be able to hold the pressure and open on impact without a super stiff spring in both the valve and the bolt. u'll need a commercial spring press to even get it in place. then u'll need something like a pully system or massive arm muscles to cock it. this wouldn't be very handy against an army of AEGs and GGBs. u would barely leave ur garage (where ever u build stuff) with it.

it's a great theory to test at home or school but it'll get u nowhere in a game.

it would be great if u can prove us all wrong. go for it.

oh i only did that screw cause i can't find out how (the ones buy) it works cause i now there is a hammer so there must be something like that.

and i posted this so others can either try or find out how it works
