Children are often unpredictable, and will be happy not with store toys, but with paper crafts. If your child is interested, then we will help you deal with the question of how to make a gun out of paper. We also note that the manufacture of crafts using the origami technique perfectly develops the creative abilities of not only a child, but also an adult.
Quick Pistol Making
If you have already familiarized yourself with various paper toys, for example, which we talked about earlier, you can move on to serious "male" crafts.
How to make a gun out of paper, the fastest way? It differs, such a craft, in that it is capable of shooting rubber bands. We will need:
- Several landscape sheets;
- Glue and tape;
- Scissors.
Manufacturing process:
- Barrel and handle design. We take a sheet, paper, twist it into a tube, and we get a semblance of a barrel. Now we fold a sheet of paper so that a handle with a part of the muzzle is formed.
- Now we wind the winding from a white sheet of paper, cut off a little bit of color and glue that fastened the parts. Next, we take a wooden stick, wrap paper on it and connect the resulting tube to the barrel.
- Let's start making the chicken. Without this little element, our weapons will not be able to fire. To make a trigger, you need to make an incision on the barrel, insert an elastic band there. This elastic band stretches and clings to the element, which is located on the handle, while the trigger starts to move up, it shifts the elastic band up, as a result, it detaches from the handle and flies out.
The design of a simple version is over. To learn in detail how to make a gun out of paper, it is advisable to watch the video before manufacturing.
Origami makes it possible to make various crafts without glue and scissors.
A little lower, we will tell you how to make a gun out of paper, which, although it does not shoot, the kid will definitely like it. Making a toy gun out of paper:
Spending a few minutes on designing a gun, you will do something nice for your baby. The only thing missing for the received pistol is a paper knife, but you can learn how to make it from the previous article. But these are far from all options, pistols, there are much more interesting manufacturing methods, but they will take more time.
Pistol with bullets
Boys are often interested in how to make a shooting gun out of paper. There is nothing complicated, but the result will impress even an adult. For manufacturing, you must have:
- paper;
- adhesive tape and glue;
- one or more rubber bands.
Let's start manufacturing. Designing a shooting pistol with bullets:
(Step 1) 
Light plastic cups can be used as targets, and instead of bullets, it is ideal: a lump of paper, peas, plasticine balls, seeds and even beads. We load our cartridge, pull on the rubber band, release it and the bullet flies out.
With such a gun, you can do what we previously talked about and go to take over the world.
Miniature pistol made of matches and paper
A beautiful miniature revolver will come out of paper and matches. The design also includes a rubber band. Although the design of such a pistol takes a lot of time, the result will fully justify itself.
Materials and tools:
- matches;
- elastic;
- threads;
- glue or tape;
- paper and scissors.
Let's get to work. Making a revolver:
The craft is ready, it remains only to test. Plastic cups can be used as targets.
We figured out how to make a shooting gun out of paper, now we'll tell you how to use it.
How the craft works:
- put a match in a paper tube;
- we pull the trigger mechanism;
- releasing the rubber band, the match pushes the charge into the target.
If you want to make the shot realistic, then before the shot you need to set fire to the match, but in this case you need to be careful not to provoke a fire.
paper glock
If your child goes to school and comes home after school and declares that he wants a cool gun, he can be offered to make a toy out of paper. For manufacturing you will need:
- a set of colored paper;
- elastic;
- adhesive tape or glue;
- scissors;
- simple pencil.
How to make a paper gun video and step by step instructions:
If the product was made by a child, now he can brag to his friends that he made the craft on his own.
Weapon
It would seem that the usual Minecraft game, but it conquered gamers in various parts of the world. Many are interested in what is so special about it, where a pixel man runs and shoots opponents with a pixel gun. Many players who are fond of this computer game want to have a semblance of that same gun. It is not necessary to spend money and buy a toy in a store. You can make such weapons from paper.
Manufacturing process:
(picture for printing) - We take the finished drawing, print it. It is important at this stage to make sure that the image is mirrored.
- We select an old unnecessary cardboard box. A pizza box is fine. Cut out the template in the amount of 4 pieces.
- We take a glue gun and use it to connect the parts. Inside the craft, you need to leave a hole for the trigger.
- Using adhesive tape, we strengthen the workpiece, paint it black. We wait until the craft is completely dry and glue our cut out color drawing.
- Next, we make an incision on the surface. We attach an elastic band to it, cut out a trigger from cardboard, and fix the elastic band on the trigger mechanism the second edge of the elastic band. So our famous gun from the game is ready.
After reading our article, many were convinced that after spending a few minutes of your time, you surprised and delighted your baby and at the same time did not buy him a toy. After all, if you involve him in the work, he will only be happy. Also, with this production, the child develops creative abilities. So get the kids involved and make toys together.
A handmade paper gun is an unusual toy for a child and a serious hobby for an adult. The variety of such crafts is amazing. Pistol models differ in appearance, complexity and manufacturing time, size, presence or absence of moving parts, and other indicators. Some of them even shoot.
A few simple tips will help novice craftsmen remember how to make a gun out of paper.
General rules
Depending on the manufacturing method, paper pistols can be divided into several groups:
For the manufacture of weapons, it is better to use thick paper, such as Whatman paper, or thin cardboard. The exception is modular origami, office paper is more suitable for it. When assembling crafts, you may need scissors or a paper knife, glue and tape. It is necessary to work carefully, carefully iron the folds, observe the markings.
Special attention should be paid to details, color scheme. Even simple origami pistols will look more impressive if you add inscriptions to them, paint the handle.
Pistol by pattern
To make it, you need to print the template on thick paper, fold the sheet in half and cut the model along the contour.
Such a gun can shoot paper balls. To do this, you need a groove for the cartridge and cuts to secure the gum. Before folding the ball chute, you need to make a small cut perpendicular to the barrel. Insert a rubber band into the side holes and secure it. To shoot, just put a paper ball in the groove and release the rubber band.
The resulting gun can be painted, stickers and inscriptions can be added.
Origami
Origami technique is available not only for adults, but also for children. It allows the child to independently make a gun for games.
For the first craft, it is better to choose a simple model. Decorative elements will add realism to such a pistol.
More complex models look more interesting. To make them, you will need several sheets of paper and a little more time.
For fans of modular origami, video tutorials on how to make a paper gun using this technique are suitable. Each video shows in detail how to stack modules and weapons from them.
scale model
Such crafts look like real weapons. The layout of scale models takes several sheets of A4, on average 5–6. It takes 3 to 7 days to assemble one pistol.
For example, this is how the Taurus Raging Bull revolver looks like when unfolded.
The layout for this gun takes 6 sheets. Each part must be cut, glued and dried, and then a revolver must be assembled from them.
It's time to start making origami crafts again and now you will learn how to make a paper gun with your own hands. This craft is much lighter than similar ones and takes about five to ten minutes. We need a sheet of paper, no additional tools and materials are required. There are several methods to make a paper gun, one is by twisting the barrel, the other is using glue or double sided tape. This method is the simplest and can be called the origami style. Of course, a paper gun does not shoot, and if you want to buy something from pneumatics, then go to the universal-guns.ru website where you will find interesting models and learn a little more about weapons. Also, there are many related products for self-defense.
We take sheet A4. I love colored ones and for this homemade I chose green.
We have repeatedly gone through how to make a square sheet from a rectangular sheet, so I think this will not be difficult for you. We bend the corner along the line and tear off the excess.
It turned out a square, a diagonal line turned out as a result of this, you can ignore it.
Fold the square in half.
And we tear it in the middle, so that we get two equal parts.
Fold one piece in half horizontally.
Then fold it in half again.
Now make a vertical fold. We are done with this detail for now.
Let's start creating the second part. From the edge, make a small fold horizontally at your discretion. This is necessary so that this part is a little narrower than the previous one.
Fold the sheet in half.
And in half again.
Then fold it vertically. We got two identical parts with one exception, one is slightly narrower than the other. It's because of that fold at the very beginning.
Let's lean the corners against each other, a thin detail on top of a thick one, this is important!
We tuck the part that is thicker down under itself.
Here's what we got.
Bend down the long part along the line of the square, which we marked on the edge.
Likewise the opposite.
If you break it down, you get something like this.
Now we take the L-shaped part.
We impose a long part in this way.
We insert the edges into the holes of the other part.
And we slowly pull the ends of each of the parts in opposite directions.
To get such a gun made of paper. Very nice to do things .
Having made a truly shooting gun out of paper, you can spend a rainy evening having a pleasant and useful time. You can make an origami pistol or a pistol with a trigger that shoots paper bullets. With a little practice, you can create your own collection of small arms out of paper.
Steps
Paper tube gun
- The thickness of the paper tube should resemble a pencil. If you find it difficult to roll the paper into such a thin tube, you can use a pencil or pen as a template. Just take a pencil and roll the paper around it.
-
Twist the second piece of paper around the first tube. To make a gun, take a second piece of paper and wrap it around the first one. As a result, you will get a paper tube of a larger diameter, from which you will shoot. After twisting the second tube, carefully remove the first one from it. So, you have a second hollow paper cylinder, thicker than the first.
Secure the paper tube with a strip of tape. After twisting the tube, fix it with tape. Tape the tube with strips of tape on both ends so that the paper does not unwind. After that, trim the uneven edges of the tube with scissors. It is necessary that the tube has even and smooth edges, without protruding pieces of paper.
Twist two more of the same tubes, then cut them into tubes with the lengths shown below. Take two more sheets of paper and twist them around the template as you did with the previous sheet. After that, using scissors, a ruler and a marker, mark and cut the resulting tubes into several segments of the following length:
- Trunk: you will need two tubes 15 cm long.
- Lever: you will need seven tubes 5 cm long each.
- Trigger: you will need one tube 8 cm long.
-
Make a handle by gluing all 5 cm tubes together with hot glue so that they are slightly slanting. Place the short tubes one above the other, sliding them at a slight angle (to resemble the handle of a real pistol, move each tube slightly to the right compared to the adjacent tube located above it). Glue the tubes folded in this way with heated glue, thereby obtaining a long handle.
Glue an 8 cm tube to the top of the resulting handle so that the extra 3 centimeters protrude above the handle to the right. This tube should protrude from the back of the handle. In other words, if you are holding the gun ready to fire, the extra 3 centimeters should be facing you. This will be the trigger of your pistol.
Glue two long, 15cm tubes together and attach them to the top of the gun. This will be his trunk, so you should glue them so that they protrude above the front of the handle. Align the rear edge of the barrel with the center of the handle and glue it to it.
Twist paper into two thinner tubes. This time there is no need to ensure that there is a gap inside the tubes. Roll the paper (it's good if it is a different color from the previous sheets) into cylindrical tubes, a little thinner than the ones you made earlier. The diameter of these tubes should be such that they fit into the previous tubes. To achieve this, twist them without a template. To reduce their thickness, do not twist the paper to the end, cutting off the last 10-13 centimeters diagonally of the sheet.
Bend a thin tube into a “U” shape and thread one end of this tube into the trigger and the other end into the top tube of the pistol grip. Trim too long edges of the thin tube so that it protrudes only 6 millimeters from the trigger, and does not protrude from the back of the barrel at all. The curve of the "U" should be on the side of the trunk. This will be your trigger, and when pressed, the tube will protrude from the rear edge of the pistol's trigger.
- Make sure the thin tube slides back and forth freely. After all, this is the trigger, when pressed, a shot occurs.
-
If desired, you can make a trigger guard using another thin tube of paper. Bend this tube into an “S” shape, flattening the bent sections if necessary. After that, place one free end of the tube in the handle (in the second tube on top, below the trigger), and glue the other with heated glue to the bottom of the barrel. Cut off the tube if it protrudes ahead of the gun barrel.
Flatten the thin paper tube with your fingers and seal the back of the handle with it. This tube should be flattened so that it forms a long and thin rectangular strip. After that, glue it with hot glue to the back of the handle, bend under the handle forward and circle around the trigger guard (if you made it). This is necessary in order to close all the holes in the handle, especially in its top tube, just below the trigger.
- NOT close the rear hole in the trigger. It must be kept open for free movement of the trigger when fired.
- And finally, you will frame the bottom of the gun - it is also better to use paper of a different color for this.
-
Remove the spring from the old handle and insert it into the top tube of the handle. Pull the trigger out of this tube and insert the spring into it. In this case, the spring should rest against the tube covering the back of the handle, slightly compressing when the trigger is pressed. The spring will serve to feed back the trigger after the shot.
Make a trigger out of paper and rubber bands. Fold the piece of craft paper in half so that you have a long, narrow strip. Roll this strip into a thin tight tube. Tape the ends of the tube with tape to keep the paper from unwinding, and cut them so they are even. You will get a long thin tube of paper. Then...
Insert a thin tube into the down tube of the gun barrel. Cut off the rubber-free end of the thin tube so that it does not protrude from the front of the gun barrel.
Pull the elastic forward, hooking it between the two tubes. At the same time, make sure that the back of the thin tube with the rubber band still protrudes from the barrel. When the trigger is pressed, it, moving out of the back of the trigger, pushes a short hook to the side, as a result, the rubber band pulls a thin tube forward along the barrel, and it pushes the bullet out.
Load the gun with a paper bullet and fire it. Now that the pistol is ready, it can be fired. Roll bullets out of small pieces of craft paper. Cock the trigger by pulling the tube on the elastic back and hooking it with a short hook on the rear edge of the trigger. Place the bullet in the barrel from the front side opposite the grip and trigger. Pull the trigger. At the same time, he will move out of the trigger from behind, pushing the hook off it, the tube will be released and, under the action of the rubber band, will move forward, pushing the bullet out of the barrel.
origami gun
-
Prepare two long, thin strips of craft paper. For the origami gun, you will need two pieces of paper. Take a large rectangular piece of craft paper. Fold it in half and cut into two smaller and wider rectangles. Then fold each of these rectangular sheets as follows:
-
Bend one of the strips into a horseshoe shape. Take one of the two strips of paper and fold it in the middle. Then unfold the strip back. You will get a fold in the middle of the strip. Grasp the right end of the strip and bend it at a 90 degree angle. Then do the same with the left half. As a result, you will get a figure that resembles a small paper horseshoe.
- The central part of the horseshoe should be about half as long as each side segment. To do this, put a second, straight strip in the center of the first and bend the edges of the first strip around it.
-
Stock up on everything you need. Before you start creating a gun, select the necessary materials. Here's what you'll need:
Roll a piece of paper into a tube, starting at the corner and moving diagonally. To begin, take the first sheet of paper and twist it into a thin tube. Gently roll the piece of craft paper into a thin cylinder, taking care to leave some free space inside. As a result, you will get a thin tube of thick paper. It will serve as a template around which you will twist the other parts of the paper gun.
Sometimes each of us wants to return to childhood and remember our favorite toys. So almost any man will be interested in succumbing to childhood memories and making a gun out of paper for his son or grandson.
Which method is to be preferred? Origami comes to the rescue - the ancient Japanese art of folding paper figures, to which you can involve all family members.
It has been proven that joint origami classes with children can bring a lot of positive emotions and new experiences for all participants in this creative process.
Scheme of the simplest origami paper gun
The easiest way to fold a gun looks like this:
What will be required?
You will need two rectangular sheets of paper and a little patience.
Step-by-step instruction
- We fold both sheets into two strips like an accordion, only wrapping the paper in one direction (without turning the workpiece over). In this case, it is desirable that one strip turn out to be slightly narrower in width than the other (as in the summary diagram above).
- We fold each resulting paper strip in half.
- We make an impromptu loop from a wider blank, which we put on a narrower strip, as shown in the master pistol manufacturing diagram (steps 3 and 4).
The toy gun is ready!
Optionally, you can make and glue a sight to it by taking a small strip of paper and folding it as shown in the picture:
How to make another version of this gun out of paper (which also knows how to shoot!) You will learn by watching the following video:
Origami paper gun and revolver
Based on this basic scheme, you can easily and simply make a paper gun without adhesive tape and glue:
And a little confused and showing a bit of imagination to build a toy paper revolver with your own hands:
Easy shooting pistol
Another simple paper gun that shoots bullets can be done using the following instructions:
What will be required?
For work you will need:
- paper,
- pencil and black pen
- scissors,
- gum for money.
Manufacturing scheme
We perform the following steps step by step:
- We draw the contours of the future weapon on paper. To do this, you need to bend an A4 sheet of format in half and draw the contours of a gun on one part of the sheet (steps a-b in the main diagram).
- Carefully cut out the gun along the contour and lay out the sheet: a mirror image of the gun is obtained.
- Now you need to draw the missing part on it with a black pen so that the layout looks like a real gun.
- We make a bend for bullets. The upper part of the gun barrel is easily pressed inward (step c) to make a small groove where homemade bullets can be inserted.
- We adapt the rubber band for shooting. At the beginning of the trunk, we make a small incision (step d) and put an elastic band into it. We pull and fix it on the opposite part of the barrel so that when released, it can capture the bullet.
- We make a bullet. We crush a ball from paper (you can have several at once) and insert it into the groove made.
Job done, gun ready!
A master class on making another variety of a simple paper gun, this time in a mini format, which is also very, very easy to repeat, can be found in the following video clip:
Volumetric model of a paper gun
Consider another realistic version of a 3D paper gun. Its manufacture is somewhat more complicated than the previous ones and takes a little more time. However, we assure you, the result is worth it!
materials
We will need:
- sheets of A4 paper,
- scissors,
- tape or glue.
Scheme of work
- Pistol frame.
Take a sheet of A4 paper and fold it in half several times. It turned out a narrow strip that needs to be fastened with adhesive tape so that it retains its appearance and does not unwind.
One edge of the strip must be bent to the middle, the second also. Both resulting edges should be the same height. The result was a kind of groove with even, identical edges - the frame of the future pistol.
- Lever.
We repeat the same steps again, only fold the sheet in half lengthwise and make a tube of paper, 4 cm in diameter. We fasten the paper handle with tape, make an oblique cut.
We connect the frame of the gun to the handle and fix it with glue or tape.
- Small parts.
To the back of the handle with the frame, you need to carefully attach a paper strip, the same width as the frame. One side of the strip is fixed with adhesive tape to the handle, the other to the frame.
This strip smoothly connected two parts into one. Now, in order for the paper gun to look like a real weapon, you need to cut out a piece of paper and glue this area, as shown in the figure.
We make a safety bracket from a strip of paper, fix one end of it with tape under the bottom of the frame, and the other on the front of the handle.
- Pistol barrel.
We tightly twist the paper into a tube, 1 cm in diameter and a length equal to the length of the frame. Then we cut a rectangle in this tube - a hole for cartridges (focusing on the figure below).
We cut out a rectangular piece of paper and attach it to the barrel - it will close the hole on the receiver cover.
We carefully fix the barrel on the frame with adhesive tape, leaving a small space between them so that the receiver mount can move freely.
- Gate.
We fold the A4 sheet of paper five times, seal the edges with adhesive tape and make a kind of roof of the frame itself, corresponding in size to the length of the trunk.
We place a paper shutter over the barrel and move it back, mark with a pencil the place where the hole is near the barrel, and do the same in the shutter. This hole will serve to eject bullets.
To keep the bolt near the barrel, you need to attach a strip of thin paper from the bottom of the front edge of the bolt. Then we put the shutter on the barrel, move it back so that it merges tightly with the frame, and under it we fix a strip of paper, approximately 3 cm from the rear edge.
These strips of paper will securely hold the shutter. The gun is loaded at the moment the shutter is pulled back and forth.
- Paper magazine for a pistol.
We turn a piece of paper into a tube, make a rectangle out of it, approximately the diameter of the handle, so that it passes there and does not fall out.
The weapon is ready for toy combat!
You will learn how to make another interesting sample of a shooting pistol at home by watching the following video clip:
To make a gun with only paper and stationery at hand, no special skills are required. All you need is a desire and some free time!
