Maybe it's the angle of the picture or something…
The gun shield looks very chunky and the barrel quite short.
The model gun shield looks to have 3 layers. |

IIrc the sheild was two sheets of spaced armour. saves weight but still protects from random shrapnel or light arms. you can see it link |

Their gunshield doesn't look right at all. |

Looks damn close to those pics posted by Pat Ripley. Unless that real one is wrong also. It may be a touch rounder, but… |

Layers.
Count them.
I see 2,
The model appears to have 3. The length of barrel and proportion of the muzzle break also look a bit odd at first glance but that could well be due to photography. |

It's not the shape Ceterman, it's the layers as Andy says. It gives a totally incorrect appearance. |

at that scale youd be hoping for a slightly better job on representing the spaced shield |
