Lastly cut out 3 cardboard pieces that are 1 inch by three inches label these "trigger"

Renforceing

Materials6.jpg
Tape or glue (I recommend hot glue but I only have tape) the "barrel" "handle" and the "trigger" into 3 separate pieces as shown in the picture.Using all of each seperate piece.

Attaching 1

Materials7.jpg
Take one of the pieces you labeled "gun shell" and glue the "barrel" cardboard piece to the "gun shell" piece as shown in the picture.Tape will also work.

Attaching 2

Materials8.jpg
Take the "handle" cardboard section and glue it to the same "gun barrel" piece as the "barrel" cardboard piece as shown in the picture.Make sure it is leaning off the side by about 1/2 inch

Attaching 3 Part 1

Materials9.jpg
This will be slightly different instead of glueing or attaching the "trigger" piece to the "gun shell" take a screw and put it through the "trigger" section as shown in the picture when done remove the screw from the "trigger" put it to the side you will need it for later.

Attaching 3 Part 2

Materials10.jpg
using the same screw poke a hole in the "gun shell" with the "barrel" and the "handle" section attached to it as shown in the picture when done remove the screw.

Attaching 3 Part 3

materials11.jpg
Put the "trigger" piece on the "gun shell" piece so the holes overlap as shown in the picture.

Attaching 3 Part 4

Materials12.jpg
now WITHOUT ATTACHING THE TRIGGER PIECE THE GUN SHELL take the other "gun shell" piece and put it on top of the first gun shell and the trigger as shown in the picture.

Attaching 3 Part 5

Materials13.jpg
Now with the screw poke a hole threw the second "gun shell" so the screw also goes threw the holes in the first gun shell and the trigger as shown in the picture.But this time keep the screw in so it keeps the second gun shell attached.

All Done :3
