This gun was brought to us by a customer who has a passion for his favorite football team. For non-football folk, the "12th man" refers to the crowd's support at a game. As such, the number 12 is repeated 12 times in the design, Including the serial number 0012, which was reserved in advance. Notice the subtle fades across the barrel, frame, and battery pack.
This early design shows the Seattle skyline with the #12 flags flying from the needle and buildings in the background, a familiar sight to Seattle natives.
This shot illustrates the linear flow of the design, with the hawk's eye sighting down the barrel.
One of the most unique elements the owner requested be included in the design is the "Kingdome Rule" which was the NFL's response to what must have been one seriously intense crowd(or possibly a poor acoustic situation) that made it impossible for the players on the field to communicate. Note that the trigger color was changed last minute.
