I wanted the gun Spike uses in Cowboy Bebop and could not find any high-resolution models. The Jericho 941 R. So I modeled my own off of reference pictures. I did not have access to any real dimensions of the gun, but I did my best to keep it as close as possible to the real one as possible. Overall shape and size are accurate just not some of the more fine details.
I am currently printing the pieces out on my printer and will post pictures when they are available.
Assembly should be relatively straightforward. I would recommend sanding and painting in order to get it to its best possible look.
Hope you enjoy.

Notes:
I used eSun PLA+, using CHEP's .2 resolution Cura profile optimized to my machine. It is easily printable in parts on a Creality Ender 3 you will just need to angle the top slide and main body diagonally along the print bed to fit. I would recommend a brim for best bed adhesion and the supports should be minimal and relatively easy to remove and clean.
Post-Printing
Sanding and painting are recommended especially to allow for the best fit. The two Holes in the side aiming piece are for 3'16" #2-56 machine screws McMaster-Carr Part# 91772A076 Here is a link https://www.mcmaster.com/91772A076/ Or from a hardware store The pieces should be relatively easy to piece together, there is also the full gun assembled to help. If an assembly procedure is wanted please let me know and I would be happy to create one.
How I Designed This
I modeled the gun using SolidWorks, which is definitely not the best software to use for the type of modeling but it is what I am the most comfortable using, and I believe I got it relatively close. All dimensions were taken from reference pictures and measured from pixel counting so it may not be the most accurate to the real thing but the overall size and shape should be similar.
