Design a gun

I had to design a futuristic gun, so I started with the research.

I found this extremely hard. I thought the gun was a basic shape but nope. I re-did my gun about 8 times and was never happy with the results.

 After so many attempts I ended up with this gun, The idea was that this gun runs off of energy from crystals (the blue thing at the top is the crystal). The benefits of this gun was that you shoot beams using the energy of the crystal in the gun and the crystal would re-charger by itself if it was not in use.
You could also change the could of the beams if you change the crystal.

 I finished colouring the gun and hated the design, after I had coloured it looked more like a toy gun you would buy for a kid... I really liked the conpect however I think my lack of painting skill ruined the gun design.
