Regular drinking straws as weapon barrels in 15mm would be HUGE - 18
inches or more across, roughly.

Folding small enough barrels to look 'realistic' might not be possible
w/
paper/cardstock... maybe design the models to use toothpicks or QTip
shafts as main-gun barrels? It does mean that people have to scrounge
additional supplies as well as print the paper parts out, but might be
the
only way to get thin enough & strong enough barrels...
