Origami and papercraft

When reading a piece of paper, maybe at the top of the window would be a craft button, allowing you to make things with it.

A few ideas:
-Paper planes. Cool to throw around and annoy the cap with. Good for clown! Maybe they'll slip whoever they hit :^)
-Scrunched paper. Nothing really, but looks inconspicuous.
-Paper Fireworks. One piece of paper and 10 units of black powder makes 10. They're just tiny little packages of powder, which make a popping sound when thrown.
-Ghetto bomb. Visually identical to scrunched paper, deals small brute damage when stepped on or thrown, and makes tiny crater. Uses a little bit of black powder.
-Ghetto flashbang. Same as bomb, but flashes people within 3 tiles of it when it explodes. Or less.
-Origami swan. Pretty!
-Paper wallet. Self explanatory.
-Chatterbox. Use a pen to write each outcome!
-Paper gun. Shoots paper bullets! Good for clown (again)
-Paper bullet. One sheet of paper makes 20
-Paper tube. Fires spitballs
-Spitballs. One sheet makes 50! Gives a REALLY big message when you get hit with one

And maybe some other shit.
What do you think?

Making things out of paper sounds fun, but only so long as the items make sense. A paper gun? Eh, nah, not for every crewman. We already have laser tag if you want that.

And making bits of paper split and bomb and flash? Please, no. And spitball griefing tube? Really?

Good ideas include planes (not with slipping, though), scrunched paper, swans, wallets. Maybe you could add envelopes to the list, I dunno. Paper isn't a big deal on station. Paper hats? All of the stuff would need to burn up in a fire, and would also need to disintegrate if it got soaked wet.

Should be able to use a shit ton of paper to make paper armor that is highly flammable and offers very little defense but can be colored and written on

Actually, in Medieval China there was mulberry paper armour that was surprisingly tough.

Still flammable, and no use against crossbow bolts or bullets. I say: give it decent melee protection with very low bullet, make it ghetto riot gear.

Paper cranes that, in large numbers, are an enormous fire hazard and as dangerous as a plasma statue igniting :^)

What if certain paper crafts can hold tiny items inside of them? Like a crane could store a cigarette, but needs to be undone if you want to take it out?

Paper on harm intent could cause paper cuts. If you use paper in the hand you hold it in, there could be a menu and the first option could be a paper ball. Paper balls could have writing on them, and need to be used on a wall/rwall to straighten out and then read.
