so this is deep skin and accent lore, but the part that the site rejects for being too modern has always been the muzzle/barrel of modern guns. when batfossil's gun head accents were removed from site for violating this rule, the moderators asked for him to redraw the barrels specifically. the handles themselves could look like anything. this is why sci fi rifles and old timey guns with flared muzzles are okay, but modern barrels are not.
the barrels on 888's skin aren't visible at all. the site itself has official crossbow apparel with gun-looking holsters.
NAYRT Oh wow! Did not know this before. I still feel like the handle is distinctly "modern pistol" on these particular skins, but interesting that it's the barrel in general that is judged. I really wish the skin moderators would add context like this to some of the content rules for skins, since it can be so hard to judge what has slipped through and what legitimately passed the queue.
