While I appreciate the effort/result, might I suggest another type of cardboard? The corrugated cardboard you're using is not the type.
Try to invest into a smoother cardboard (artist supply store) that will have sharper cuts/look and build on that.
Your trick building 5 or 6 layers is good to attain your wanted thickness. Good luck and keep on building

Ik the cardboard isn't smooth from the start but that's why I plate it in fresh soda box cardboard bc it hides all the imperfections it had in the first placeWhile I appreciate the effort/result, might I suggest another type of cardboard? The corrugated cardboard you're using is not the type.

I used to make cardboard weapons with my older brothers. We used them until they were destroyed, then we'd go make some more! Cardboard wars was a lot of fun. They were no where near as well put together as yours, mostly they were swords and axes. But we did a few guns too.
Big fan of the chiappa rhino. The real deal is a fantastic revolver.
Your technique is solid and I like the effort a whole lot, but as joberg says, your finished product could be so much nicer with a different/cleaner medium. Even using foam core will produce a cleaner finished model. You might also want to consider getting a free (shapr3D) or inexpensive (sketch 3D) 3D design software, learning it (they're both very easy to use) and getting an ender 3, and 3D printing. I wasn't sure it would have the same satisfaction as making stuff by hand, but I'm here to say, I'm finding it more satisfying. You might too.
You may also find Bill at Punished Props worth following on youtube. They do stuff just like this but with foam/rubber mats.
Thanks for sharing your work! Here's to hoping we see more.
