I've often heard the argument that banning guns is silly because a small machine shop can turn out submachine guns. With people like this guy in the world, the same could be said about your local Hobby Lobby or elementary school classroom.
Watch out, I hear that the BATFEIEIO is going to start considering possession of construction paper to be constructive possession.
If he did it with newspapers, he could build a case for First, Second and Fourth amendment protection. Talk about being secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects!

I've seen that kid come up before on various gunboards.

"Papercraft" is indeed a "thing"/hobby... whatever. If you Google imgage search it, you'll see people making complete scale replicas of Star Wars vehicles, mecha, robots from various movies etc. Complete sculptures, dollhouses... anything.

I have seen model cars made from toilet paper in prison.

Some people just have talent.

Yeah, but (minimally) functional firearms?  That's new to me.

I humbly bow to the absolute genious of his abilities.

However...

I can also see the headlines now... "Man arrested for making high powered assault rifle with silencer that's invisible to x-ray!!  We're all going to DIE!!"

He's a pretty cool guy to boot.

I started watching him because of his metal detecting videos, but stayed for the savant like genius.

Looks to me as though he's using a real cartridge, but pulls the bullet and dumps the powder, and then re-seats the bullet as a primer only round. I don't believe he intends to try to shoot it for real, and presumably the paper/glue barrel would erode quickly. The point was to show his gas port, and the piston would unlock and actuate the bolt a little bit.

I've seen the kids videos over the years, he's even made a mechanically functional MG42 with little rolled paper rolling lockers and everything.

For all the effort he puts into rolling and gluing paper, he could have learned enough machining to become a full-time gunsmith/SOT. Although it's not clear to me that he's in the U.S.

I think he actually used a downloaded cartridge - not primer-only - for this gun.

Google pepakura Halo Mjolnir ("Master Chief") and various makes of Iron Man armor, if you're into costuming at all.

The latter is my big costuming project for this year, actually - my step-daughter wanted a Mark 6 Iron Man suit, and we decided to make a family group costume out of it.  Mk 6 for her, a modified Mk 3 for my wife (a movie-style version of Pepper Potts' Rescue armor from the comics), and Iron Monger for me, although the latter won't be pepakura since there are no patterns for it (all custom-built, that one will be...).  I got a little machine for Christmas that hooks up to the computer and will cut out and score the pepakura patterns for me, which trims the time to make a piece by quite a bit, and once it's warm enough outside to do the resin and fiberglassing, I'll be getting into full-scale production of Alison's suit.  Got her faceplate 'glassed a couple of weeks ago, but it was a royal pain since it was freezing outside.

Reading the rest of this thread, I can't wait to check out this paper-AK video at home!  Sounds VERY cool.

I've seen him rolling mock paper cartridges, but that one seemed to be real. Unless it was that smooth, and the paint that good.

Now he just needs real barrel blanks and a chamber reamer.  :angel:

IIRC, he is/was somewhere in the Orient.
