You can make a life-sized paper model of the SMG, maybe using cardboard or at least heavy paper. Then take some fiberglass resin and cover the inside with it's strong enough. Put some weights in there for a more realistic feel, paint it up and you'd have a fairly accurate Halo SMG.

Gather equipment to build with. If you want a top-notch field and you have money to spare you can buy the wood and sandbags and such that you need. BUT, the better thing to do would probably be to find scrap wood and barrels, and anything you find on the side of the road. You might want to bring friends to help build it.

Tips

Also, before you build it, you should plan it. Start making a map of the field you're gonna make.

Step 1: Assemble the Rifle

While I didn't document this part well, I've drawn up some photoshop sketches of basically what to do. First: Locate the barrel and cut it to just the right length. What does one do to find said length? Just basically eye-ball the piping and pick how long you want the barrel to be. If you want a shorter length barrel, then make one.

Step 2: Cut the Stock

Yep, you got it. Now you get to cut out a stock you find comfortable. Note my lacking of telling you the lengths of any of this yet? There's a reason behind it: every human is different, and what I like and what you like will be different.

Step 3: Zip-tie Stock to Gun

Do I really need to tell you how to do this? Simply zip-tie your stock to the frame of the gun. This will hold it in place long enough for you to get an idea for the next step. For those who have never seen, touched, heard of, or used a zip-tie before: They have one end that has a bulge on one side.

Step 4: Cutting the Under-barrel Piece

Okay, you've now got a fully functional air-gun (yes, if you connect Step 1 to an air tank, it Will fire.), and a stock that you have attached only by a handful of Zipties to your gun. Now I'm asking you to make another piece? Yes. The reason is because I want you to be visualizing this and improvising a little.

Step 5: Epoxy Things Together! (Solution 1 of 3 to Mount Barrel)

Okay, a few things before I start on this: 1: Epoxy comes in 2 parts and must be mixed first before using. Won't work otherwise. 2: For those who insist "I'll use superglue", you won't. Your barrel and frame will separate if you sneeze on it. Use epoxy.

Step 6: Use Lots of Electrical Tape (Solution 2 of 3 to Mount Barrel)

Okay, you find you either don't have the patience to use epoxy, or your parents won't buy it, or possibly you couldn't find it. Well, don't worry. I bounced a question off a senior builder on this site who made a rifle that inspired me to finish mine. Here's a snip of our conversation with trying to mount a barrel on.

Step 7: Zip-Tie! (Solution 3 of 3 to Mount Barrel)

This one's easy. You know those zip-ties you added earlier? They're crying out for friends, so add more zipties.

Assembling your airsoft rifle

The majority of airsoft weapons are operated by pressurized gas in some way. But you can choose a hybrid system if you like. If you choose to use a gas compressor, which might be perfect if you don’t have to carry it about everywhere, then you’ll need a fast action piston mechanism with a strong spring or any gas canister to use for propulsion.

Bottom line

Without machines like a CNC Machine or other advanced mill, it would be difficult to build an advanced airsoft sniper rifle.
