Video: We want this, a 3D-printing machine gun that folds and shoots paper airplanes

If only we had this during secondary school...

If only we had this during secondary school…

When JOE was in our all-boys secondary school, we attended the Matty Hislop School of Endless Sorrow and Unbreakable Faith, we studied and worked hard frequently did the bare minimum to get by whilst frequently acting the scallywag.

For example; we played football in class, hid our mates school bag in random places and often engaged in pen clicking races with people across the room.

Our tried and tested method of acting the maggot though was always making paper airplanes and we’re proud to say that our technique of making and throwing them was absolutely flawless.

We’re fairly certain though that Dieter Michael Krone’s invention would have come in handy though because he has just created a 3D-printing machine gun that folds and shoots an endless amount of paper airplanes.

The list of things that we could do with this is endless but for now just take a look at this amazing feat of engineering.

We think it’s fair to say that this is the greatest invention since the potato peeler.

Take a look.

Maybe this is what those England fans used with that paper airplane that almost travelled the length of Wembley?
