The aim of the project was not to replicate an existing gun but to show the potential to manufacture detailed mechanical parts that are structurally sound and able to work together as a system within an enclosed body. All internal components and moving parts have been designed to allow for one piece manufacturing and tolerances have been adjusted so the mechanics would work without flaws.

The gun was chosen as an example of perfect machinery as well as to highlight the dangerous potential of rapid manufacturing as a tool to create objects that are beyond any controlling body, have no serial number and cannot be detected by metal detectors.
