Do you like shooting but don't want to use real weapons? If so, these simple steps will delight you! You will be able to shoot pieces of paper at a distance of about 6 meters! You, of course, guessed that we are talking about a slingshot, but to make it you only need an elastic band and fingers.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Standard Method

1. 1 Cut a piece of paper 2-3cm wide and about 30cm long (A4 sheet length). This will be our projectile.
2. 2 Fold the strip in three lengths.
3. 3 Fold the paper every half a centimeter (the lines in the notebook show the ideal distance for this).
4. 4 Fold the paper in half widthwise. This will give it a shape that is easy to fit into an elastic band.
5. 5 Take a rubber band (the more the better).
6. 6Place the eraser on your index and thumb nails.
7. 7 Place a piece of paper over the elastic and make sure you are holding both strips of elastic.
8. 8 Pull the elastic back and aim.
9. 9 Let go of the rubber band!

Method 2 of 2: An Alternative Method to Save Paper

1. 1 Tear off one piece of paper 2-3cm wide and 18-20cm long.
2. 2 Fold it in half. You will end up with a slice 2-3cm wide and 9-10cm long.
3. 3 Twist it as tight as possible. You will now have a 2-in-3-inch roll of paper.
4. 4 Fold it in half. The projectile is ready to fire.

Tips

• The tighter you fold / curl the paper, the further and faster it will fly away.
• If the paper is so tightly folded / curled that you cannot fold it again, then you have a formidable weapon in your hands.
• Don't worry if the piece of paper looks small, it will hurt more!
• For more fun, staple the ends together.
• For more power, use cardboard or a piece of magazine.
• The projectile can be wider than 2-3 cm, the wider, the larger.

Warnings

• Don't shoot animals, it's cruel.
• If you accidentally hit yourself and it hurts, apply ice to the bruised area.
• Don't shoot yourself!
• Don't shoot people! After all, they can answer!
