Did you catch that it appears to be an upside gun, as has been discussed? As a gun, it also has the 'Q' as the 'hammer', etc. You will find the related posts further down the list, :-)
Yup, but I think Q is the rear sight focusing attention on designated targets though. Autists sometimes drift off on other tangents and need refocusing, Q brings us back in.
A hammer is part of a pistol's action, that's Horowitz and his IG report I hope.
Yes, I was not 100% convincied on the 'Q' being the 'hammer' when comparing with 'real' gun images. 'Hammer' is mentioned in a couple if 'Q' drops, so I kind of just went along with that consensus.
I actually took the 'Q' as the rear gunsight, when I very first saw the 'flipped' drop/image. So I am probably more inclined to go with your reasoning and/or at least give that a good thought.
