Materials for this project total about $15. SlashGear explains the design:
The concept is simple; you pressurize a soda-bottle full of airsoft pellets and give the air only one way to escape, through a barrel, out the cap and, ultimately, into a target. The assembly process is simple as well, requiring only that you drill two holes and mess around with a little hot glue. It’s child’s play.The result is a jurry-rigged device that completely justifies its appearance within mere seconds of use.
