Making a paper cannon in the convenience of your home is the best activity that can be accomplished these days. The idea for a homemade cannon has been around for a while and although we had some great inventions that were actually working, we are very surprised to see that this paper cannon actually works like a real one. It is shooting at targets with bullets, homemade of course, and it has some power packing inside.

The cannon that is made out of paper can be easily made in your home too. Just take a cardboard that is soft and that can be bent easily. Then roll it with a small diameter inside. Rolling the cardboard should be enough when the thickness of the cannon gets about 8 to 10 centimeters. That is how thick the cannon should be in order to withstand the force of the gunpowder that will be loaded inside for the shooting. If the paper cannon is thinner than there is a chance that it will get blasted together with the shooting round inside. It may hurt you too if you stand too close and the cannon is not secure enough for the shooting.

Here on the video made by YouTube user Benny 8025 you can see a perfectly made one that is glued to a wooden stand for better stability. That is the way that it should be done and you can see how it is stable when large quantities of gunpowder are blasted inside. It doesn’t even burn the cannon at all, it is able to shoot many rounds before it is not safe for using anymore.

Cannons are made out of different materials but this one that is made out of paper has caught the attention of the public because it is easy to make and it is shooting so precise on the targets.
