Thoughts on converting a (c02)GBBR into firing .177 steel BB's?

I'm a chairsofter so I only participate in range/target shooting with the occasional use of magpie pest control.. So other than shooting targets on my acreage I don't ever participate in airsoft events or ever use them to shoot at people.. So please don't get the wrong idea about this topic as it's not about making a more deadlier and unsafe airsoft weapon..

I'm wondering if it's at all possible or if anyone has ever attempted such a thing before? I realize the biggest issue would likely be the magazine, the gas valves/pressure regulators, and fitting in a small calibre barrel where the 6mm barrel previously fit.

If anyone has tried anything like this before then please post and let me hear about it! I think it would be great if I could convert a WE open-bolt GBBR to fire metal BB's with it's c02 charged magazine system. I currently own an automatic BB gun made by Umarex called the "Steel Force" 'AR-styled' BB gun that fires semi auto and a 6-shot burst as fast as you can pull the trigger (which essentially makes it fully automatic - however I've seen youtube video's on how to take out a gear within the main housing of the internals which removes the limited 6-round burst).

My Steel Force recently broke down due to an internal trigger mechanism failure from use... So I've not got a .177 barrel that is long enough to work inside of a short-barreled/commando styled AR weapon so I'm wondering if it's possible to fit it in and line it up with the feeding path of the 6mm bb's; except I would of course have figured out by then how to situate the modified magazine to the feeding path leading to the chamber/barrel.
