Dieter Michael Krone’s paper airplane folding machine first appeared back in 2014, but since then he has vastly improved its design and performance. Built from a combination of 3D-printed components and purchased parts, the completely custom creation, now known as the PFM A5 v2.0, is the least intimidating machine gun you’ve ever seen—unless you’re a teacher at the front of a classroom finding yourself suddenly being bombarded with hundreds of paper planes.
