Ive been doing 3D for over 20 years. Ive used every 3D package out there 
To me it shows me how insanely good Blender is to be able to get a result like this so fast. There are a few quirks I struggled with but Hardops helped to bypass some of them.
The tool that helped me alot with this was the grease pencil … to be able to draw over the object was crazy helpful.
I did this gun in no time as well … In Maya this would have taken weeks!!!
