• Step 2: Create barrel Create the barrel of the gun by folding one of the folded sheets in half crosswise.
• Step 3: Fold ends of other sheet Fold both ends of the other sheet downward at a 90-degree angle, leaving a 4-inch section in the middle.
• Step 4: Fold in half Fold this same sheet in half in the center of the 4- inch section. The two angled ends will now be aligned. This is the gun handle.
