how to fold a paper gun that actually shoots

  1.  
  2. Create the handle. Position the paper horizontally and make a 1.5 inch fold from the bottom of the paper. Continue folding the paper up, gradually wrapping it around your original fold, until the entire sheet is wrapped around itself, forming a 1.5 inch flat tube. Tape around the two ends to enclose it and any flaps that may occur along the long opening and then fold the tube in half. You should make a sharp crease at the center.

    Repeat the process. Repeat this process but with different measurements. You'll want to make one at 1 inch and then one at half an inch next. Each needs to be rolled, taped, and folded, just the same as the first.

    Fold the handle. Take the 1.5 inch piece and unfold it at the center mark so that the crease is exposed. Then, measure just barely over 1 inch down the long sides from the center on each side. Fold it at this point down so that the edge meets just below the bottom end point of center crease.

    3. Cut the trigger slit. Cut a small slit along the center crease, just barely over.5 inch in length. This will act as a pocket for the trigger later.
      • Making a temporary fold in the opposite orientation from the center crease should allow you to easily cut along the center crease line. Just be careful not to cut too far.

    2. Fold at the center crease again. Fold the paper at the center crease again so that the two angled sections are brought together, face-to-face. This is the main section of your gun into which the barrel and trigger will be inserted.

      Insert the barrel. Take the 1 inch strip and insert the open end through the left and right folds of our handle. You should now have something that looks like a gun. Make sure both sides are inserted through the pockets correctly.

      Cut a notch for the trigger. Cut a small notch at the back of the gun. This is what the trigger will rest on.
    5. Make a Paper Gun That Shoots Step 16.jpg
      8
      Insert the trigger. Now insert the half inch strip through the pocket near where your finger would rest on the trigger and push it until you have paper sticking out at the trigger spot and also at the top-back of the gun (where we just made the notch).

      Trim the trigger. Cut the excess trigger strip until a notch is created by the trigger paper and the barrel of the gun.

    3. Load up your gun. Take a rubber band and stretch it from the front nozzle to the back of the gun. The rubber band should rest behind the slit and above one corner of the half inch strip.
    1. If it has difficulty staying put at the front of the gun, you can cut a small slit or notch at the front of the gun to give the band a place to rest.
    • Sometimes the paper can buckle when you put the rubber band on. If this happens, reinforce the barrel by taping a couple of skewers to the two sides.

    2. Fold ninja star bullets for extra fun. You can fold ninja star bullets if you want something extra fun. Just place one corner of the star lightly between the two halves of the gun, just down the barrel from the trigger. When you shoot the gun, the rubber band should catch on the star and send it flying!

    Both green lines have the same length. This Ponzo illusion uses the fact that human brain interpretes the image with perspective, however, it's just a simple 2D image.

    Incredible. No matter what we command our brain, no matter what we know that there is we still refuse to simply accept it and instead we see an illusion.

    how to play games without overheating

    When I start new games like FIFA 15,it runs smoothly for a while then starts to stutter,tearing happens and it becomes a real pain having to restart the laptop.THe most frustrating thing is that this is a relatively new problem. Games that were running fine till a few days ago are now stuttering after say 10-15 mins.I checked task manager and saw that only about 50 % of memory is being used.
    • I tried updating my graphics driver to the latest one. Didn't work. Had to go back to the one I was using.

    • Tried a friend's cooling pad. Sometimes did work but not so much. After a while I kept having them anway.

    • Finally after much researching online I came to know about overclocking and underclocking. It allows you to set the clock speed of your processor. Clock speed is the rate at which your graphics card would complete instructions.

    Overclocking is something you should not do. You make your graphic card over do stuff by doing that which can lead to problems like more overheating, frying your processor.

    Underclocking is reducing your clock rate. This worked for me magically. MSI Afterburner also allows you to display your GPU usage, RAM usage and GPU/RAM temperature while in game.

    Clocking your GPU is something you should do with care. It's not for everyone.

    how to eat faster

    Steps

    1. Eat Very Quickly Step 1.jpg
      1
      Start with a large portion of food and a tall glass of water in front of you. Choose a food that you can consume quickly -like macaroni and cheese, or pizza. Food with bones can be dangerous and slow going.

    2. Eat Very Quickly Step 2.jpg
      2
      Visualize the food being broken down and filling your belly. Say to yourself, "I can do this! I can eat you very quickly!"
    3. Eat Very Quickly Step 3.jpg

      Use your hands if possible, otherwise choose an eating utensil that is large enough. Avoid sharp or overly pointy utensils.
    4. Eat Very Quickly Step 4.jpg

      When you're really psyched, dig in! Practice taking bigger bites than usual. Chew well enough to get the food ready to swallow, but don't take all day. Be efficient with your chewing -don't chew the same place twice. Always break up the larger pieces into smaller ones! Don't waste time biting your lip or cheek. This really throws you off!
    5. Eat Very Quickly Step 5.jpg

      Swallow! Get ready with the water or the next bite while swallowing. Don't waste any time! Water really helps the swallowing to happen faster without forcing. Use water every three mouth fulls.

      Continue until you have finished the meal, or you are too full. When you are done, raise your fists up into the air in triumph! Come up with something really cool to say, for example, "Take that, you plate of food, you're in my belly!"
