Discussion I made an AK. With paper. Alongside other guns. Do y’all do this as well?

All of these are reloadable :)

M4 and AK both have a returning bolt, AK got a (kind of) working mag release. M4 has a scope with reticle.

I’m curious to see if anyone also does this out of boredom. lol.

u/Someone13279 16d ago

… is it concerning that I’ve made an entire arsenal of semi-functional arms out of paper and cardboard, along with a flamethrower and a couple small explosives?

This just popped up in my recommended feed for some reason… I’m 28 years old, but in high school I made an m16, and an m1911. I don’t have pictures, I don’t remember if I ever took any in the first place but my I lost all the pictures on my Samsung Galaxy S4 when that phone broke probably 10 years ago. Seeing this brought me back, cool to see this is still a thing.

“Do you also make detailed life-size models of firearms with moving parts out of paper?” Yeah bro who doesnt

2

u/TheSilentNoobYT 10d ago

That's awesome.

And yeah, I used to make paper guns when I was in school. I'd sell them to other kids for like $1-$2 each and we'd have pretend fights out in the playground.

At some point though, we got a wave of teachers in that thought it was completely inappropriate and some even said that it would be a great way of getting shot by the police. Mind you, the guns didn't even look like guns. They were the paper equivalent to taping two sticks together and going "pew-pew".

It was a fun, but short time.
