Paper Beats Rock & Scissors

A couple of years ago I blogged about Tacome1942 and his amazing paper guns. He has not stopped making 1:1 replica paper guns and his newer creations can fire real cartridges. He loads cartridges with homemade primers and uses powered matchstick heads as gunpowder.

His paper 1911 firing a .45 ACP cartridge …

His paper rifle firing homemade .223 flechette rounds …

Don’t reload your own primers or use matchstick heads as gunpowder. It is very dangerous.
