Holy crap. This kid makes guns out of paper THAT REALLY WORK. He says most are 97% paper, 3% wires and pins to make it fire. He has a 1911 that fires real bullets! I mean 50% powder but good lord!

Is that the right video? Looks like a regular gun with toothpick bullets
Whoops. Same guy, wrong video.

Thanks for the link. He has some neat stuff in his channel and is here in San Antonio.
I have been rolling papers all the wrong way.
The gummint will make us get a background check before we can buy a newspaper.
The suppressor could get him in real trouble with the ATF.
Ok this is terrifying and awesome at the same time. When he shoved the real bullet into the gun i was sure that a catastrophic kaboom was about to happen, but he latter explained that he was not using smokeless power, only a very small amount of black power which is still not very safe IMO. I would NOT want to load test that gun but it is quite amazing that he has a semi scale working mock up of a 1911.

bah..
I spent 2 years with a pound of black powder under my bed. I never died or got injured.
Probably not that smart with the static charge and all.
you conservatives are all a bunch of wimps. It's us liberals with the moxy that rule.
What are the barrels made of?
He is also working on an AK and an MG42.

I think his whole operation could get him in trouble. But yeah, that suppressor is definitely a big no-no according to ATF.

Yeah there is a bit of a question in my mind about what kind of laws these things break. Heck a paper gun would be bad news for air travel or anything else requiring one to go through metal detectors. Things like springs can be snuck in via a pen just like in the movie mentioned above.
I would like to know what material is being used for the barrel I am just having a hard time with that being paper.
In one of the first few vids he said he finally found a way to do rifling in the barrels. So i think it might really be paper.

I think its just paper. And a lot of glue. He seems just as shocked when some of them work. I think he's a creative kid who stumbld upon something dangerous. however its awesome none the less.
