Here is a simple and fast way to make a basic paper gun using just two sheets of paper, scissors, and optionally glue for reinforcement:
- Take one sheet of paper (A4 size) and fold it in half lengthwise. Then unfold it and fold both edges to the middle crease, making quarter folds. Fold the top and bottom edges to the middle crease again. This creates a folded paper strip.
- Fold this strip in half vertically and mark the middle. Fold one edge to the middle crease again and flatten the ends by folding in opposite directions to form a shape.
- Bend and fold this shape to create the handle and the barrel of the gun.
- Use the second paper sheet to create additional parts to complete the gun's structure, sliding and attaching them as the trigger and other details.
- Optionally, use glue to fix parts firmly so the gun lasts longer.
- Your paper gun is ready to play with!
This method is easy and fast, requiring only folding and minimal cutting or glue, and can be completed in just a few minutes.
If needed, rubber bands can be added to enable shooting paper bullets for added fun.
