They're plexiglas. I would love to make one out of Austrian crystal, but H don't have the equipment, the skills, nor the money. This is currently a dead project.

They were cut with a jig saw using a fine blade, shaped with a belt sander, then sanded with several grits of sandpaper and then polished with a buffing wheel. The one made with several pieces required me to repeat this about 60 times.

Well when you have a project you just plug away at it. I think I spent about four months off and on on the Gatling gun, and this is nothing this guys project took two years. [link]

I am trying to get a piece of 3/4" Plexiglas to try and make a good one, but it's really expensive.

The first Adamant Barrage is heavy. I'd hate try to pick up the real thing. A jeweler told me that if it was real diamond it would weigh over 100 pounds.

It wasn't a problem at the Animethone security impounded it within half an hour. Mind you I got it back when I left and the entire security group had their picture taken with it.
