This project started out as a simple idea in my head after playing through Yakuza 0 last year. I was quite fascinated by Jun Oda's tonfa (and reverse grip weapons in general). So I sketched out a reverse grip firearm that you hold in the same way as a tonfa, which was gradually fleshed out to become the project you can see here. Had a ton of fun figuring out the mechanics of modern firearms and applying the functions to the silhouette.
