Papercraft Pistols

Fierce Non-Firing Weapons

These papercraft art pieces are so very wrong but so very right--they're amazing replicas of pistols made by a papercraft expert.

While these are no doubt artistically brilliant, it might not be a good idea to make one of these models if you live in a place where carrying a gun replica can get you either arrested or shot.
