    How do I get my paper bullets to shoot straight?
    Community Answer
    Take your aim properly, and try firing it from different angles. If that doesn't work, then they're just going to go the way they want to as they're not well weighted.

      Tips

      • Make sure that the rubber band is new and not used to bind anything because old and used rubber bands tend to get torn or stretched out.
      • If you want it to go very far, get more rubber bands and join them together.(Not more than 10 rubber bands it would get hard to shoot)
      • Try to sit away from each other so you can shoot the bullets across the class room because it improves accuracy.

      Warnings

      • Be prepared for many welts or bruises if you plan to have a paper bullet war with your friends.
      • If you are having a paper bullet war with your friends, use printer paper instead of cardstock, it can leave welts.
      • Be careful because your rubber band might snap. (In case this happens get more rubber bands)
      • Even if you aim it next to somebody, the ricochet may be so strong it could hit them as well as a nearby wall.
