How to Make a Paper Gun With a Mac
A paper gun can look very much like the original weapon if the artwork is detailed and true to the original. Download a 3D template for a paper gun from a number of websites at no cost onto the desktop of your Mac computer. Use a free 3D program and print the 3D template onto a sheet of computer paper using your printer. Then make your paper gun.
