He said that the weapons were not inspired by any existing ones, and that they were built from scratch using trial and error methods. He said:

We built the weapons from scratch. We did not have any reference. We did not copy anything from anywhere. We just tried to imagine what kind of weapons would be used in the future

The director also said that the weapons were not just props, but they had a logic and a purpose behind them. He said that the weapons were related to the story and the characters, and that they had a history and a mythology behind them. He said:

The weapons are not just for show. They have a meaning and a reason. They are connected to the story and the characters. They have a history and a mythology

It was not easy to make these weapons. It took a lot of time and effort. We faced many challenges and difficulties. But we did not give up. We wanted to make something unique and different
