1
Gather what you need. There is no doubt that it is absolutely simple. You will need:
- 1 Rubber Band
- 1 Sheet of Paper
- Scissors or Ruler (Optional)

2
Make your ammo. Take your piece of paper. Cut or tear the piece of paper into smaller pieces with your hands, scissors, ruler, etc. The small papers should be roughly near 7 cm by 1 cm. Scrunch up the small pieces of paper into a good-sized, tight and firm paper ball. This will be called a mini-paper bullet. Make a few more bullets to add to your ammo stock.
- For a more advanced paper bullet, you could also try making paper hornets .

Wrap it around your thumb and index finger. Make sure to put the rubber band on your default hand (hand that you usually use).

Pinch it with your thumb and index finger of your other hand. Don't let go of the bullet.

If you are pulling the closest band towards you, you are doing it correctly.

Pull the band that is further away from you towards you. This will overlap the band that is closest towards you. Do not pull the band closest towards you.

Whether in school, home, or work, you've got to hide your masterpiece of fun. In school, you might shoot your bullets across the room but you should hide your weapon so that people aren't suspicious of you. You certainly don't want your enemy or other people using your weapon. The best hiding spot for your bullets is your pocket. Shorts pocket, jacket pocket, all are fine. Hiding it in a pocket is another good thing because your hand could reach it easily.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/16\/Make-and-Shoot-Mini-Paper-Bullets-with-Rubber-Bands-Step-25.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-and-Shoot-Mini-Paper-Bullets-with-Rubber-Bands-Step-25.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/16\/Make-and-Shoot-Mini-Paper-Bullets-with-Rubber-Bands-Step-25.jpg\/aid6359620-v4-728px-Make-and-Shoot-Mini-Paper-Bullets-with-Rubber-Bands-Step-25.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Pretend to be writing or pretend to be doing something with your hands. The person you shot might think that your working hands means that it is too busy for games.

Hide the rubber band. The rubber band makes a twanging sound after firing the bullet so it is a good idea to hide it quickly. If you have a watch, you could use it to cover up your rubber band. Or else you put it inside a pocket or put it next to other bracelets or things on your arm to make it look like everyday stuff.
- You might not get it to shoot well at first, but remember to place the bullet in the right place so the power will go into the bullet. Don't forget to read the tips below to learn more

You could change the size of the mini-paper bullets smaller or bigger by cutting or tearing smaller or bigger pieces of paper.

Using softer paper would make better mini-paper bullet results because it means that more empty spaces in the bullet will be filled with the flexible, soft paper.
