I am planning on making a homemade but I don't know what to make or how much it will cost to make so does anyone have any recommendations and price on them

Blaster, we make homemade blasters.

All the stuff to build the mk-8 will be posted in the pinned thread at the top. Start there, IIRC from nothing youre talking $30-50, but it only really costs $15 or so to build a blaster.

SNAPs and Rainbows should be similar, depends on the materials and methods you use though. Lexan costs more than wood but you can make finer cuts in it, and PVC fittings usually cost more than something you make but are easier. Ordering from McMaster is more than buying in store unless youre building large quantities of blasters to use all the stuff they ship you. There are really too many variables to just tell you what will be best, other than to tell you to look up the Mk8 thread and do that.

is it possible to make one for $12 that is all I want to spend

Theoretically it’s posible if you find materials around your house

[Meaker VI]

Barring having the stuff, no. Youve got good odds of finding *some* stuff that will work though, assuming you can improvise as needed.

you can make a really decent one sub 100, a SEAR catch is great

There's a writeup here and tons of aeromech vids on them,
