The author of this curious reproduction of the famous assault rifle M-16 is an American named Charlie and has a Youtube channel called Papercraft.

Charlie has commented that he has not yet been able to do shooting tests. Maybe you're skeptical of the idea that a weapon made of paper can shoot. I was also before watching this video made by Charlie opening fire with a paper Makarov pistol:
