When going through my archives from my old website I found a bunch of pictures of some of the Intimidators I designed for Bob Long back when Bob and NPS were working together. :)
Here's the pictures of the Russian Legion Intimidator.
It went through three iterations. I need to find the CAD files to see if I can show you. Initially I was told it was too sharp at the back, so I rounded it, then I was told it was still too sharp (boo) and I had to do it again. I didn't like the final version as much, but they finally accepted it and allowed me to go to production with it.
Interesting point. I had an agreement with Bob that when I made the first prototype of any gun I would send it to him so he could show people it and raise orders, on the promise that when he finished that and production started I would get the original prototype back. The Russian Legion gun is the only gun where I never got the original prototype back. Makes me sad. :(
I still have the first offs for all the other Intimidators I designed.
I like having the first for obvious reasons, and also because they are often subtly different to the final production model.

Here's a rendering of the original design.
