I've tried to clean my inner barrel.

For brass instruments like trumpet or trombone they have these "snake brush" which is some nylon brush at the end of a flexible spring (plastic coated to prevent scratching)

 

If we make something similar for airsoft with a small brush (wholly plastic like a toothbrush) tied to a paracord or something non-metal, it will work similarly or like a real steel bore snake

 

Key thing is everything has to be plastic because it has to be softer than aluminium and brass to prevent scratching

 

Toothbrush exists so the technology is there, just a matter of making it sized correctly to go through 6 mm tubes

Bonus feature: make it clip onto its own tail and make a loop, and then it can be powered by you full autoing the gun for automatic cleaning

Straw brushes( think mini toilet brushes) if you don't want to buy a cleaning kit.

They all seem to made of steel wires body

 

Are there any that is completely plastic?

[Sewdhull]

No, but you can sleeve the stainless wire if you want to use a brush.

Snake brushes are plastic coated because they have to go around bends. Now, unless your barrel is more fucked than any cleaning rod will fix as long as the diameter of the brush stem is less than the bore of the barrel it won't come into contact with the barrel surface anyway.

 

Or literally just use a bore snake for a .22 rifle.

It could be a gun with a purpose
