Should I make lots of giant paper shurikens?

Well? We've been recently making fuck loads of paper shurikens out of A4 paper for no apparant reason. Today, I made a shuriken out of A2 card. A2 is about 420mm × 594mm and when folded into a shuriken is the size of my face. Now, given into account that B0 is about 1000mm × 1414mm, should I make shit loads of shurikens out of B0 card?

Get a loaded glue gun, two coins (quarters work fine), and Exacto blades. Make a coin-glue-coin Oreo and insert the desired number of blades. Enjoy.

I made some paper shurikens from thicker art-paper. They were acutally harmful.
Normal printer paper is generally too weak to inflict harm.

I was thinking of making them out of card and then laminating them. I want to mass produce them so I can throw them at people who piss me off or oncoming traffic on the dual-carriageway.

Laminating is not an option. Making them out of sturdier papier is.
It's cheaper!
Here's how you fold:

I already know how to make them... 1 piece of A2 card is like, a quid...
Hmm, I think I might try and rob some bigger paper/card from the college's Art&Media block. They probably have a laminating machine there.

Hmm, that also means I'll be able to test it on the Emo's there. Double win. I just need to make fucks loads before we go to steal their bench and attack them with fizzy bottle bombs on the last day...

Well... if you need something to throw... make a cut out of tag-board, or a wooden one, or a hard plastic one (use a utility knife or crafting scalpel [such as an exacto-knife] to cut one out of a lid of a pringle can, yogurt container lid, etc) or a steel one, (if you have a hammer, anvil, forge, and coal/propane, though remember, you are not allowed to have steel throwing "stars" or throwing knifes in public), or throw cards or throwing discs (you can cut the edges off of a pringle can lid, yogurt lid, etc. to make a flat disc, throwing discs [cards can be classified as a "disc" due to the way they fly] are thrown by putting it between the index finger and the middle finger, moving the wrist so your hand and arm form a 90 degree [right] angle [facing towards your other hand], then quickly moving your wrist back to a 180 degree (straight) angle quickly and letting go, it is difficult to describe).

Note: Coins can be used as throwing discs (and they actually fly pretty well), the only problem is that they are small... and it is difficult enough to find larger, brightly colored throwing discs most of the time...
