Papercraft 1:6 scale weapons

Having been a huge fan of Hasbro's GI Joe toys in the 80's, and after no small amount of playing Call of Duty, I decided to make several weapon designs at 1:6 scale (the larger, 12" tall figures). I had been disappointed by other accessories in the past, with the designs really losing their realism (even with fictional objects; they still have to be plausible). I used Adobe Illustrator to render my model's parts based off of an initial oblique side-view render, and tried to retain as much detail as I could, without sacrificing a simple assembly. Ultimately I will have them rendered via 3d printer when the opportunity arises, but for now they exist as proof of concept.
