This technique, (in it's current unrefined form,) isn't too applicable to an actual airsoft firefight, though, I imagine a determined and creative airsoft player will prove me wrong.
Theoretically, with a little adapting, this should work with ANY blowback equipment, including AEGs (probably not very well) and actual semi-automatic firearms. (It's probably illegal, don't do it.) Please don't do anything stupid, we don't need to give the anti-gun community anything else to gawk at.
With GBB airsoft pistols, the magazine will tend to freeze up VERY quickly, as most GBB aren't designed to fire in full auto. If you actually apply this technology in airsoft field with a GBB I suggest you don't use it as a primary weapon, as the rapid-cooling effects of decompression could damage your magazine if prolonged to the usage of a primary AEG. Like all "How to" videos, you perform this under your own risk.
The gun in this video is a Tokyo Marui (How do you pronounce that?) airsoft Gas Blow-Back pistol. I don't need to hear, "You suck, get a real gun." because I have a real gun. 2 actually. A .22 target pistol for cheap fun, and a .357 magnum for the boring, rainy days.
I use propane (Green gas) in my GBB. I haven't observed ANY damage in my Chrome TM D.Eagle as of yet. I discourage the use of greengas. Check out http://airsoft-innovations.com/GunGas.html I'm a satisfied customer.
I used twine on my gun because of it's low friction. That's very important. I tried doing it with a shoelace but it had too much friction. Also, the thinner the string the less the friction. The trigger was just some keyring. The whole setup with the red-rubber band and the paperclip was nothing important. The point of it was just to give me something to attach my twine to while remaining removable.
This concept might be more difficult to use on airsoft guns that need a COMPLETE seal to fire, so extreme troubleshooting, like replacing the twine with an elastic, might aid in that regard, but I wouldn't know, as my GBB didn't give me any problem.
