Police have allegedly seized a home-made spring loaded projectile launcher after a 'shooting' in Perth's south-east.

A man, aged in his 20s, was talking on his CB radio at his home on Blight Street in Maddington around 1.40pm on Monday when he received a threat on the radio, then heard a noise at the front of his property.

He went to investigate and saw a small hole in his front bedroom window.

Detectives then searched a home in Gosnells and allegedly seized a home-made projectile launcher which they say was 'not a firearm'.

A 45-year-old Gosnells man has been charged with acts likely to endanger the health, life and safety of a person.

He is due to appear in the Armadale Magistrates Court on the March 5.
