How to make a paper AK-47 that shoots (with video) in easy steps

Have you ever wanted an AK-47, but you don't want to spend thousands on a real one. I will show you how to make one out of paper and tape. This paper gun really does shoot paper bullets, you just have to blow though one of the ends of the tube. The most I have ever shot it was about 30 feet. This gun has a real working bolt action core, which makes reloading easy. Whether you are a paper hobbyist that makes and collects paper guns or gun look-alikes, or thought this was a cool nifty toy that you could impress your friend with, I guarantee that this is the easiest to make paper AK-47 on the web.

I am not responsible for any harm done to you, your friends, or any other animals. I do not recommend pointing this weapon at any living creature unless you know who they are, and do not aim for their face.

1) Roll a piece of paper around a pencil, and tape it. This tube will be known as tube 1. It will be the slider part of the barrel.

2) Tape 3 pieces of paper together, and roll them around tube 1.This is tube 2. This is the barrel.

3) Tape 2 pieces of paper together, and roll them around tube 1. This is tube 3.

4) Insert tube 1 into tube 2 and cut a rectangle about 1 cm tall, and 5 cm wide.This will be where you put your bullet into. Refer to the How-to video on this paper part, as it is hard to understand in writing.

5) Tape tube 3 onto the bottom of tube 2. Now we have the barrel.

6) Roll a piece of paper into a handle type and tape it onto the end of the barrel. This will be your handle, you can add a trigger if you want to, but it wont do any thing, as it does not connect to the paper gun.

7) Follow the instruction on the video to make a magazine and tape it near the handle. Make sure you follow the instruction and tape it correctly as this is the hardest part of the gun.

8) To customize it, mix 50-50 flour and water to make a paper mache paste. Cut newspaper into 1x4 inch of strips. dip strips in paper mache and cover the gun. Paint the gun after all the Paper mache has dried.

You could also add a scope to this, a stock, or even figure out a way to make a tripod. I will leave all of that thinking to you. You can also modify the gun to fit your needs. I have seen lots of other videos and how-tos on the web how to make these. This is probably the easiest one to make that actually shoots paper bullets! I hope that you will make this gun and show off to your friends or family with it.

I've heard of some people making these, and selling them to people on the web, and at fairs or a flea market. A good rifle with a stock, and tripod can go for up to $30. I wouldn't recommend selling one that hasn't been used.

You could also make a different gun, like a sniper rifle or a pistol. You can even just use a tube, and make a paper bullet. That brings up paper bullets. To make one, all you have to do roll up a square of paper(about 4 inches by 4 inches) so that it is shaped like a cone. Now, this is the most common bullet, their are many others that use tacks, or nails for educational purposes.
