6.1.01 - Back to work here. I’m installing a gun of some kind down on the docks. It’s a D’ni mining instrument I believe. Regardless, the DRC, of all people, want it set up. Strange.
6.30.01 - Gun is up. Not working, but up. Laxman will have to get it working, or at least give it a shot. Not familiar enough with this kind of D’ni technology.
I had completely forgotten.
I would take the writing to mean it is thought to be D'ni mining equipment. Sharper thought of it as a gun by his descriptions. So, it would seem the D'ni are still pretty much gun free. While I forget the DRC did set it up, it was not something they originally created.
The only other reference I can find to this is in a converstion with Sharper. (LINK: D'ni Gehn Gun) Search the page, its near the end.

Douglas Sharper: I think the pods are moving away from where the people are. I’ll try to work on some ways to draw her in.
Chwith: very whal like.
Dusante: cant lure her close enough
Douglas Sharper: You all deserve a good look at her.
Lucas: hopefully that day will come
Dusante: yeah
Chwith: cool
Dirk: would ben very nice
Tweek: indeed
Dusante: wonder what the DRC thinks of her
Douglas Sharper: Cautious. What else?
Chwith: I think that’s why they wanted the gun
Tweek: lol
Dusante: that mining gun seems a little, freaky
Douglas Sharper: Believe me, they did not want the gun.
Dusante: I hope nobody tries to shoot her
Dirk: maby that is what she scared of
Chwith: Then why is it there?
Tweek: shoot her?
Dusante: yeah, but we had to use it to get to that upper slave room
Dirk: since the drc wanted it there for our safety
Tweek: nah I got a good view of her through the gun once. wouldnt shoot her tho
Douglas Sharper: It’s not there to shoot Shroomie, I’ll tell you that.
There is/was Gehn's gun at Cyan's office. LINK: D'ni Gehn Gun - picture
In 2003 there was speculation about Gehn's gun. LINK: D'ni Gehn Gun - speculation
Not much else on D'ni guns.
