Paper weapons. How to make a weapon from paper Weapons from a4 paper

It's no secret that boys love to play war games; they always have soldiers, cars and, of course, weapons.

But the same gun can be easily made from paper. Here is an example of the simplest way to make a gun out of paper using the origami technique, without glue or scissors.

Fold a sheet of paper into stripes.

Bend it in the same way as shown in the figure.

The finished weapon looks like the photo below.

Materials needed to make a paper gun

To learn how to make a gun out of paper, follow the simple recommendations described below.

You will need:

scotch;
scissors;
A4 paper.

Instructions for making a gun from paper

When everything is prepared, you can begin. How to make a hunting rifle out of paper? Let's look at this in more detail.

Roll the sheet into a tube and secure it with tape so that it does not fall apart. Make another tube of the same diameter.
Roll the sheet into a tube with a slightly larger diameter so that the previous tubes can fit into this one.
Insert sheets rolled into smaller tubes on both sides into the latter. Secure with tape.
Make another such long tube consisting of three sheets. Trim so that the length is the same and glue them together.
Now we need to make the butt. To do this, take two sheets of paper and cut out identical oblong trapezoids from them. Cover thoroughly with tape on all sides. Insert and glue the stock between the tubes.
Cover the stock with a new, flat piece of paper to make it look nice.
Roll the two sheets into two separate thin strips. Form one into a circle. And fold the other in half and put it on the circle so that three centimeters are in the middle of the circle.
Insert this structure from below under the rifle. You guessed it, it will be the trigger.
You can also make a sight by twisting another strip into a circle and gluing it to the top.

That's all. Now you know how to make a gun out of paper. It's easy and fast. And boys will be interested to see the process of making weapons.

And here is another interesting scheme, thanks to which you can also make a gun.

Paper weapons that shoot

But many will rightly note that a gun that does not shoot is a very dubious and uninteresting toy.

Therefore, below are instructions on how to make a gun out of paper that shoots. This task will be a little more difficult, but playing with such a gun will be much more interesting.

You will need:

colored paper of your choice;
White paper;
scotch;
hot glue.

Let's make a shooting weapon out of paper together

See how to make a gun out of paper.

Load the bullets into the top hole and pull the trigger. Here's a toy. Well, so we figured out how to make a gun with our own hands from paper.

There are many different schemes and ways to build a weapon out of paper, and even one that shoots. Start with the simple ideas suggested by origami, moving on to more complex techniques. This way, you can collect a whole arsenal at home and play with a large group until you get bored.

And such activities are also useful for children, because they develop hand motor skills and accuracy.

In order to make a gun out of paper, you will need two strips of different lengths.

1. Roll the strips along the wide side 6-7 times to obtain round tubes. One of the pipes will serve as the muzzle of our pistol, and the other will be its handle.

2. Bend the parts of the future pistol in half.

3. Take a short piece and fold its ends in the opposite direction from the holes.

4. Take the long piece and pull it through the short loop.

5. Our pistol is assembled.

All boys love to play war. They often have a huge amount of plastic pistols and shotguns from the toy store, and the children ask for more and more. The origami technique will come to the rescue. Using available materials, you can create weapons from paper with your own hands. This is a great option for a family evening. By involving your son in origami, his creative abilities develop. In addition, a compatible activity brings the boy closer to his father.

What do you need for a paper weapon?

You don't need a lot of material to create a weapon model. The main raw material is paper. It is better to choose thick sheets of good quality. A notebook sheet is also suitable for some products, but it does not hold its shape well. You will also need cardboard; it serves as the main material for many types of weapons. With its help, a solid frame is created.

For fastening you need to prepare glue.

Mainly used:

silicate;
for carpentry work;
glue stick.

Sometimes the joining of parts is secured with tape. You can buy transparent or double-sided.

You can't do without tools. For the craft you will need:

Simple pencil;
eraser;
yardstick;
elastic bands;
stationery knife;
scissors.

Depending on the type of weapon, you may need foil or toilet paper rolls. To decorate the finished layout, you should stock up on paints, a brush and the original drawing. An accurate representation of the real weapon brings the replica as close as possible to it.

Various weapons are made using paper sheets:

Firearms;
cold;
models without descent.

Mostly popular are models that can shoot. For example, rifles and machine guns. School-age children can set up a shooting range in the yard without risking their health. For younger boys, a dummy of a real weapon or a sword is suitable. The risk of injury is minimal, so parents should not worry.

Making paper weapons is a fun process. The instructions make the work easier and allow you to achieve the desired result step by step.

Every boy will be happy to make a small pistol out of paper.

It will take some time. For the handle you will need an A4 xerox sheet.

Instructions:

Fold the sheet in half.
Fold each half to the inside.
Repeat twice.
Fold in half and turn over.
Divide into equal three parts.
Bend the left and right parts at right angles.
Combine them.

To make a trunk you need to take a square sheet and repeat steps 1-3. All that remains is to attach the handle to the barrel, and you can run into the yard and start a fight.

A real masterpiece that can shoot, it looks like a miniature revolver. It's quick and easy to make from available materials.

List of materials:

Matchbox;
spool of thread;
rubber;
paper;
scissors
glue.

Instructions:

First you need to make the trunk. To do this, wrap a short piece of paper around a match and glue it together.
At the end of the match, secure an elastic band with a thread.
Bend back the end of the elastic and re-tie with thread.
Place a match in the barrel.
Glue the elastic band to the paper with tape.
Cut out the handle.
Take a second match and attach the finished part to it.
Make a sight from a paper tube.
Connect three parts together.

The principle of operation is the push created by the trigger mechanism. The applied force sends the cartridge towards the target.

Glock 17 pistol

Glock firearms are not difficult to make.

The main thing is to be patient and strictly follow the instructions:

Using a pencil, make a tube out of paper and secure with tape.
Prepare 8 identical parts.
Form a trunk from 4 elements and cover it with colored paper.
Cut two tubes into 3 pieces each.
Glue three pieces together and wrap them in paper.
Glue another tube on the sides.
Insert the handle into the previously prepared cut in the barrel.
Cut three parts: 3, 6, 8.5 cm. The longest element is the grenade launcher. The second longest is the trigger. The smallest one is the scope.
Glue all the parts in place.
In the places where the elastic bands are attached, make an incision for fixation.

The last stage is giving the model a finished look. You can cut out emblems or add an autograph.

Fans of the Meincraft computer game will love making this model. To do this, you will need to figure out how to make a model of a weapon out of cardboard. You can make a shooting model or a copy without a trigger mechanism.

Prepare cardboard and an image of a pistol from the game. You need to print two copies in mirror image. Transfer the contours to the drawing. Cut 4 templates from cardboard and glue them together. At this stage, a hole for the trigger and a gap in the upper part for the elastic are prepared for the shooting model.

This completes the work of creating paper weapons from Meincraft.

Edged paper weapons

From cardboard and paper you can create realistic edged weapons for hand-to-hand combat. If you try, it is difficult to distinguish it from the real thing. Due to their light weight, they cannot be injured. An exciting game of war will keep the boys occupied for a long time during their walk.

Axe

A battle ax can be easily created from available materials. Even a preschooler can cope with this if an adult helps him.

To work you will need:

A4 paper;
scissors;
PVA glue;
ruler;
pencil.

Step-by-step instruction:

Divide the A4 sheet into two parts: a square of size 20*20 and a rectangle of 20*8.
Fold the square diagonally twice.
Fold each corner to the intersection of the diagonals.
Flip the template.
Fold the corners back toward the center.
Repeat steps 4 and 5.
Unfold two edges that are opposite each other.
Fold the workpiece in half. The ax handle is ready.
To make a handle you need to fold the rectangle in half.
Fold each edge to the center strip.
Form a triangular bevel on top.
Glue the shaft and the point.

After the ax is finished, you can decorate it with metal self-adhesive paper. Paint the handle to match the color of the wood.

Nunchakus are dangerous edged weapons. With its help, you can make a grab, hurt or strangle your opponent. In order to learn the secret of the Asian type of fighting, you can make a model out of paper.

Materials:

office paper;
narrow tape;
newspaper sheets;
glue;
leg-split;
strong thread.

Process of creation:

Make two cylinder-shaped pieces by rolling a single sheet. The diameter should be 4-6 cm.
Secure with glue or tape.
Roll up the newspaper sheet to completely fill the space inside.
Compare finished parts with the picture:
Wrap the nunchucks as tightly as possible with twine, covering them with glue.
Thread a thick rope through the two parts.
Tie knots at the ends for strength.

You can connect the nunchucks with a chain of paper rings. The principle is similar to creating a New Year's garland.

Other types

The following products are also made of paper, although they look like real weapons.

Katana,
Butterfly knife,
Axe.

If you give free rein to your imagination, you can make any weapon. The main thing is to decide on the original and create a dummy in its likeness. In order for the model to serve for a long time, it must be handled with care and avoid contact with water. With the help of the master classes described in the article, it is easy to make a new toy for a child at minimal cost.

But boys and girls have completely different interests. Girls make paper flowers, and boys make paper weapons.

Therefore, this article is dedicated to all mothers and fathers who are raising sons.

I suggest that you and your child create a toy weapon that is absolutely safe, and most importantly, you can make as many of them as will fit in your weapons room. It all depends on the availability of paper, glue and tape in the house.

And the fact that this is creativity is confirmed by the finished works. For example, a paper dagger that has a beautiful hilt and sheath.

I think that as soon as you look at these objects, the shapes of the most ideal dagger, sword or rapier begin to form in your head.

So, then let's start mastering the origami technique. All descriptions will be very detailed so that my young reader can easily repeat what is shown in the picture. So let's get started.

Origami is a wonderful technique that allows you to create any thing. The main thing is to strictly follow the instructions. During the lessons, logical thinking, attentiveness, accuracy and patience are honed. How do you understand that all these qualities are very important for a boy?

And, of course, he will be very interested in making a gun with his dad. This way you will create a community of interests and spend an hour of your time usefully.

And, as we know, our adult fathers are also children, so we need to make two pistols at once.

Today we can make two simple options. Of course, if you add imagination, you can improve them, for example, add another barrel.

All crafts require A4 sheets.

A craft that a 4-5 year old child can do.

This pistol consists of two parts. Take a thick sheet of paper. We need it to be square in shape.

Now fold it in half.

And divide it into two stripes.

Now fold one of the parts in half lengthwise.

And in half again.

Let's bend our workpiece in the middle and put it aside. Now we take the remaining strip.

We bend the edge. If it is difficult to do this manually, then use a ruler.

Fold the strip in half so that the free edges completely match.

We repeat this action again.

We also fold it in half.

Now we turn one side at an angle.

We also fold the other side.

When we unfold it, we should get a figure like this.

Now we connect both parts, pushing the ends of one into the formed “loops” that were made a little earlier in the second workpiece.

We thread both parts.

We tighten the barrel and handle well.

Now let's complicate the weapon model. Let's just say that the first option looked more like a flintlock pistol, and the bottom one looked more like a revolver.

We will need a square measuring 21*21 cm, glue, a pen or pencil and scissors.

We make blanks; for this we fold the sheet in half.

And cut along the fold line with scissors.

Take the first half and fold it in half.

Let's unfold it, now we will wrap each edge to the middle.

In this picture, both edges are folded.

This is how we mark straight fold lines, along which it is then easy to fold the desired part.

Now we find the middle of the workpiece by folding it along the width.

Then we fold both edges towards the middle.

Do you see that the folds are very even? It's like we're laying out a grid.

And all that remains is to roll the workpiece along the marked lines.

Fold one edge along the marked second line.

We repeat the same action for the second edge. This is what we get.

Remember that we still have one more half left? Now we need to divide it in half. To do this, find its middle length and cut it along the fold line.

Let's fold one of the parts again, only this time across.

And we'll cut it again.

We begin to fold the part, as shown earlier.

We get such a blank. This will be the trigger.

We need to glue the two sides together.

Our trigger is ready.

Using the handle, twist the barrel. We glue the edge with glue or tape so that our tube does not unfold.

Now we take a large blank and begin to wrap one of the set aside segments around one edge. Glue the edge to the part, otherwise the winding will slip off it.

We glue the edge so that the winding does not unwind.

We insert the barrel into the edge of the winding.

To prevent the barrel from falling out, we bend the edge.

And we glue it so that our barrel does not fall out. By the way, it’s also better to coat the edge of the tube.

Glue the trigger. After this, you need to glue all the edges of the handle.

Do all the steps in order and everything will work out.

If it is difficult to roll using your eye, then use a ruler.

Although the origami technique is quite self-sufficient and uses only your hands and a piece of paper.

Origami weapons: patterns for beginners

It happens that the diagram is not always clear, because it contains the most important actions and their sequence.

Therefore, I give the main types of weapons with a step-by-step description.

But a brief diagram of creating a weapon that shoots looks like this. It begins with the creation of an ordinary pistol, then becomes more complex to a revolver and ends with a paper gun.

I also provide a brief diagram for creating a surreken. This is the simplest option. You can increase the number of rays to any value.

But such a knife is very easy to make and has a very sounding name - kunai.

The diagram shows the sequence of actions for rolling a kunai blade.

The handle can be made following the example of a katana.

Making an easy ninja surreken without glue

Now let's start creating the surreken. After all, a real ninja always keeps a couple of rays in his belt pockets.

Below I will show you how to make them without glue. And, if you are afraid of getting confused, then take two sheets of paper of different colors.

For four rays we will need two landscape pages. Take the first one and fold one edge diagonally. This is how we form the line of the free edge.

Now fold the sheet in half.

Another half.

And we find the middle of the strip in width.

We turn the bottom edge inside out and make sure that all the lines are parallel to each other.

We repeat the same action for the other edge.

We make another similar blank. This is what should happen.

Now the ends of the blanks need to be bent.

We apply both strips perpendicular to each other.

We bend the curved edge and try to get the end into the slot that has formed in the middle.

We also turn in all the rays one by one, changing the side of the surreken.

Crafts for boys: axe, nunchucks, katana and butterfly knife

So, they fired the pistol, lowered the surreken, now it was the turn of the “cold” weapon.

I really liked the idea of the Slavic axe. Moreover, it is done very easily.

To create an ax we will need:

1 sheet of A4 paper

We need to make a square from the rectangular shape of the sheet. Therefore, we fold it diagonally, connecting the edges and cut off the resulting excess strip. We will use this to create a handle.

Now we mark the diagonals of the resulting square.

Now we turn each edge towards the center.

Turn the workpiece over.

And again we bend each end with the tip towards the middle.

We turn the square over again and repeat the same steps.

Then we open the two opposite edges.

Carefully fold the piece in half.

Let's start making the shaft for the axe. To do this, take the remaining free edge and find its middle.

Let's unfold and now tuck each edge to the found center line.

Let's fold the edge inward.

Now we need to prevent the shaft from unfolding, so we glue its internal parts.

Lubricate the top with glue.

And we glue both parts so that the shaft is inside.

That's it, you can decorate the toy with runes or inscriptions and run to organize a camp.

Now we will start creating the katana. This is the weapon of real samurai - the most fearless warriors of Japan.

We will need:

2 sheets of white paper
1 color sheet
scotch
stationery knife

Fold one white page in half and draw it well along the fold line.

Fold the edge to the intended fold.

And curl the katana blade.

To prevent it from turning back, we carefully cover the junction of the edges with a strip of tape.

The tip of the knife is rounded, so we do it that way.

Now we take the remaining white sheet and start making a tube from one end. You need to twist it diagonally. Secure the edges with tape.

Now let's move on to the handle. To do this, we measure the blade of the blade.

On the fourth part of A4 format, mark exactly this width and fold it.

Glue a strip of tape along the edge.

We fold another quarter of A4 in the middle.

And again, but changing sides.

We also fix it so that the part is intact.

Mark the width of the blade and draw a diamond.

It needs to be cut with scissors or a stationery knife.

Here are our details. We begin to collect the katana.

We insert the tube into the blade; it will extend beyond its limits. Therefore, we thread the handle, capturing part of the blade.

We put on the limiter.

I couldn’t resist the folding knife, so I want a lot of people to see this craft.

We will need:

4 sheets (colors: 2 red, 1 blue and 1 yellow)
toothpicks
glue gun

We fold the red paper in half and divide it into two parts.

Roll up the strip.

All the red paper will make 4 strips.

Cut the blue paper into two parts. We take one half and begin to form the blade.

Shape the tip of the blade. Be sure to seal it with tape.

From the remaining half we make a strip. Take the blade and cut its base to the width of the second blue stripe.

We insert the prepared strip into these slots.

We glue the edges well with tape and use an awl to make two holes. We make the same holes at the ends of the red blanks.

Insert toothpicks into the holes.

Let's roll a tube from a yellow sheet.

Divide the tube into two equal parts and begin gluing it with hot glue.

We connect two parallel red stripes, forming one side of the handle - the sinus.

We cut off all ugly and protruding edges.

Lubricate the slots generously with glue, and cut off the ends of the toothpicks or bite them off with wire cutters.

I’ll say something about nunchucks. This invention was used by the Chinese when they were under Japanese pressure. They were forbidden to use any weapons and began training with chains. Then this art grew into this form.

We will need:

8 sheets of paper
20 m cord
glue gun

You can twist six tubes in advance. First, one end is tucked in, then we move diagonally.

We connect three tubes and wrap them in paper. Help yourself with hot glue.

So we got two blanks.

We also coat the ends of the cord with hot glue and insert them between the tubes. We wait until the cord is fixed.

We compact and weight the edges.

These are the options for men's crafts that I offer you. Some of them are very easy to do, while others require a little effort. But I think that your reward will be satisfied boys who will be busy playing for several hours.

Any weapon that is presented in popular fantasy films and cartoon series can be reproduced at home.
