A gun made from paper tubes. How to make a gun out of paper: detailed instructions Volumetric model of a paper gun

Paper is just an amazing material. Ordinary white sheets in just a few minutes can turn into a flower, a helicopter, a car or a gun. But such products are very popular with children and at the same time are completely safe for others. So how to make a gun out of paper? The instruction will be clear even to a child.

The easiest way

If you don’t know how to make a gun out of paper, then you can resort to the simplest method of making an unusual toy. To create you will need:

Glue or tape.
Paper knife, scissors.
Paper.
Printer.

What do we have to do

This is all you need to make a gun out of paper. The scheme in this case will be very simple. It should be printed on a printer and carefully cut out. The scheme-sweep allows you to quickly make a paper gun. Even a child can handle it. It is better to place the scan on the fold of the sheet. When cutting, you will get several symmetrical parts at once.

Two parts must be carefully glued and then painted. That's all, the gun is ready. To make the toy last longer, you can make it out of cardboard. When this method is learned, you can proceed to simple origami.

What can be a paper gun

Since not everyone can make a pistol out of paper of a more complex shape, you should start with the most simple models. At the moment, there are many simple origami. However, there are those that require not only accuracy, but also patience. A weapon can be made from paper, which will have a simple groove in the middle, as well as the place where a special rubber band will be attached to the muzzle. What is it for? A ball or other light object will be inserted into the groove. And the rubber band will serve instead of the trigger. Of course, it's hard to call origami. A slightly different definition is suitable for such a toy - "papercraft".

classic origami

You can make a paper gun without using scissors and glue. As for the classic origami, its production will appeal not only to adults, but also to children. Therefore, parents can involve their kids in making a gun. To do this, you will need several sheets of clean paper and, possibly, scissors. This model will consist of several parts.

Detail one - frame

This part of the paper gun is made from one A4 sheet. This is a standard sheet for printing on a printer. Of course, this is the first detail, and it is important. Therefore, everything must be done smoothly and accurately, accurately and beautifully. Since one curved part will eventually ruin the whole product. To make a pistol frame, the sheet must be reduced by 4 times. To do this, the paper must be folded across. The result is a rectangle. It must be folded in half along the long side. In this case, all edges should be carefully ironed. To prevent the workpiece from spoiling, its edges can be fixed with tape. The resulting part should be mentally divided into three parts. The two extreme ones must be bent at a right angle upwards. With a full bend, the edges of the parts should converge. The result is a gutter with an open top.

The second part is the handle

To make this part of the gun, you will need another sheet. It needs to be folded in half. The result is a rectangle. It should be rolled into a cylinder. The diameter of this part must be at least 4 cm. A rectangle must be made from the finished cylinder. To do this, all the tops must be bent at a right angle. The upper section of the handle should be the same width as the muzzle. But that's not all. The section itself should not be straight from above, but located at an angle of 30⁰.

We connect the details and refine the little things

We continue to master how to make a gun out of paper. When both parts are ready, they can be connected. To do this, you need to glue a strip of paper to the frame, and then to the handle. Its width should correspond to the dimensions of the parts. Paper triangles should be attached to the sides. This will make the design more cohesive. To make the weapon more realistic, it is worth forming a protective bracket. To do this, cut a thin strip of paper and fold it twice. The finished part must be bent accordingly. The bracket must have rectangular shape. It can be attached to the handle with a strip of paper glued at a right angle, and to the frame - with a triangular fold.

How to make a trunk

At this stage, you need to make a barrel for the pistol. To do this, take a sheet of thicker paper or thin cardboard. From the prepared material, you need to roll a cylinder with a diameter of 1 centimeter. The length of this part must match the dimensions of the frame. This is a rather complex model. Therefore, the trunk in this case will be unusual. In the finished cylinder, a groove must be cut in the middle. In other words, you should get a window in which the cartridge is usually placed.

From plain paper you should make a small rectangle so that one of its sides is open. It is this detail that will help fasten the frame and barrel of the paper gun. This can be done with tape or glue. On the same rectangle, you can create another paper strip, which will close the cartridge window. In a real pistol, all these parts, of course, are movable. Without them, the weapon simply does not work.

How to make weapons more realistic

How to make a gun out of paper more interesting? To do this, fix the barrel, as well as the rectangle attached to it, with adhesive tape, but not rigidly. It is worth leaving a small shutter. Of course, in the manufacture of such a toy, precise measurements are not required. However, everything should be done carefully. It is better to cut off all excess tape, and all strips of paper should be cut strictly along the ruler.

The last detail is the shutter

As you can see, making a paper gun with your own hands is not as easy as it seems. This requires not only attention, but also accuracy. To make this part of the gun, you need to take a sheet of paper and fold it 4 times, and then in half along the longest side. After that, it is worth making a P-profile from the resulting strip. This part should be the same as the frame. And the shutter should completely cover the barrel. The shutter is attached with a small strip of paper in front of the product.

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

Stock up on everything you need. Before you start creating a pistol, pick up 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.

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 together with tape to keep the paper from unwinding, and trim 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
1. 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:
2. 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.

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 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 schema 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 pistol 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 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!
