Well, as a newbie to this forum I didn't want to butt in uninvited with a question.

Your two Q&A seem to have answered most of my points.
Anyone can buy one -> not unique - also implies there are lots of them.
"Can carry it home" - if we take "carry" literally then not too heavy or large.
"Use it well" implies some skill, training or physical attribute (strength, dexterity or intelligence) is required.

Admittedly unlikely with the mention of some parts requiring soil, but some guns do have wooden bits.
I know of no place where the public is forbidden (or heavily restricted) to purchase this thing.

Some do, some don't. (there is more than one type of this thing, some types do, some don't)
(you may ask the next question)
