Airsoft Mini Gun (NightHawkInLight)

The Airsoft Mini Gun is an internally-fed, burst-fire airsoft gun built by NightHawkInLight.

History
Designed and built in 2011, NightHawkInLights Airsoft Mini gun was part of a series of educational-how-to videos featured on his YouTube Channel.

Development
The weapon appears to have come together using a basic and limited amount of moving parts.

Structure
The Airsoft Mini Gun utilizes a U-shaped air reserve that is enclosed by a shrader valve and two end caps. The pressure rated reserve sits underneath the magazine that is connected to its source by a compressor hose secured in between brass threads and held tight by hose clamps. The cylindical magazine has a centred aluminium barrel that runs along a guard where it remains flush until the end to prevent damage.

Operation
The Airsoft Mini gun's compressor hose is controlled by a quick release hose valve that blasts a "cloud" impression into the magazine spinning the ammunition and eventually sending it down the only exit point - the barrel and into its target.
