The image of the crying woman seems to be inextricably linked to female hysteria nowadays. However, a woman’s tears should be considered as a sign of strength rather than weakness, as they have the power to lower testosterone levels in men. This gun therefore functions like an ancient biological weapon for self-protection, since its bullets are filled with tears and seeds. As the bullets break upon impact, the released tears will not only cause testosterone levels to drop. They will also serve as a water supply for the seeds, resulting in beautiful flowers to shoot. (people can actually shoot the gun!) Thus turning the emotional battlefield into a vivid flowerfield.
