The Origami Forum

Has there been an origami gun that actually works even a little?

You mean that shoots a bullet or a paper bullet? Not to my knowledge, although there would need to be a separate piece for the bullet, obviously, and the firing mechanism would have to be a sort of spring mechanism. The gun itself would also probably need to be modular simply due to the huge number of layers that a one-sheet model would create (which would probably interfere with the mechanical aspects of it). It would probably be much more feasible to make a catapult.

Working crossbows and catapults (of a sort) have been done.

Jared has made a shootin' good gun!

Maybe you can make a gun with a hidden cigarette lighter. When you pull the trigger...it fires!

More like catches on fire

Ouch ! I think someone has been getting more sleep
