Sure, but its missing the switch and the grip is oversized for the hand. What were they thinking???? ;-)

That would be the switch to turn the electronic trigger of the 162 on (or off).
All that filler between the fingers suggests the grip is oversize.
That's what I think.

The switch on the 162 would not be visible in the first shot and would probably not be visible in this shot:

Perhaps it's a 160.
I think it is outstanding that they choose a free pistol to sculpt.

Apropos of the "creepy" comment . . . I would love to talk to the artist out of earshot of officials. Any first year art student could read all sorts of counter-revolutionary symbolism in the buried hand striving out of the earth toward the heavens . . . with a pistol!
Kinda makes yuou go "hmmmmm . . . . "

Re: switch, grip, & thinking
First, I'm onsite and walked around the sculpture.comments wrote:What switch?
What oversized grip?
Were you thinking?
Second, I'm familiar with free pistol.
Third, I have a sense of humour which I guess eluded you.
That being said, the grip doesn't have the middle and ring finger perpendicular to the bore. The angle of the fingers' mid-sections implies that the grip is too large for the hand, forcing them outward. Reducing the length or the width of the grip may allow a better fit and optimise the grip.
Geeez, talk about a tough crowd.

I tried to use the Dremel but...
Just when I got the extension cord in place, these guys came at me! They have no sense of humour at all, nor do they know the intricacies of grip.David Levene wrote:Go on Patrick, attack the grip with a Dremel ;-)
