This is an awesome concept and very brave of you to undertake a restless 30 day project like this. I think the project is very poignant in this day to do and says a lot.

My only criticism is that it seems like you only have left to right control of the gun and no up or down, so ultimately you have a very controlled scenario and not really very threatened.
