Gear Guy is a real-time 3D firearm configurator and private armory for iPhone. Swap barrels, rails, optics, and suppressors on a photoreal model — see exactly what your build looks like, what fits, and what it costs before a single part ships.
Captured from the app · real-time 3D configurator
Every part is a measured 3D model placed where it actually mounts. Swap a handguard and your light moves with it. Orbit, zoom, and inspect the configuration before you spend real money on it.
Parts list in, rifle out — then four saved builds off the bench. Captured from the app.
A 14.5" barrel with a fixed front sight under a free-float rail. A rangefinder on a mount with no rail. A 10.5" upper that just became an NFA question. Gear Guy checks fitment and compliance signals as you configure. It explains. It never lectures.
Compliance chips inform. They never block, and they never pretend to be legal advice.
An MCX with the wrong can: two errors, each with the fix, and a suggestion.
Gear Guy reads your configuration and tells you what it has fitted — a suppressor, a white light — and on rifle platforms, the engagement class the barrel and sighting system put you in. The figures are published doctrine numbers, shown with their source and their definition. Nothing is invented, and where we do not have a number we say so rather than estimating one.
Same cartridge, two answers: the DMR is limited by the cartridge figure, the carbine by its sight. Both say which.
Tell it the job (home defense, DMR, retro clone) and roll. The randomizer puts together a coherent build from real parts that fit together, priced and ready to inspect. Keep rolling until something makes you stop.
“GWOT Clone” — a retro roll, every part real, every part priced.
Pull the build apart in 3D. Every component separates and carries its real product name; tap Labels and it shows what each one costs. Receiver sets that belong together say so when you pair them. The blueprint of the rifle you are planning.
Ten seconds of a DMR coming apart. Captured from the app.
Swap a KAC upper in and the bench tells you the matched lower paired with it.
Optics seat in the slide cut. Lights ride the frame rail. Suppressors thread on the muzzle. The M&P9 M2.0 takes a Trijicon RMRcc and a SureFire XVL2, the P365-XMACRO its Holosun 507K, the SIG MCX a SIG SRD over its Taper-Lok brake, and the AR-15 carries the full catalog of lasers, lights, cans and glass. Every seat comes from measured geometry.
What is on the model shows as equipped. What does not fit says why.

Point it at a rifle, yours or one from a listing. Gear Guy identifies the platform, the parts it can see, and what they are worth, then files the whole thing into your armory as a structured record you can put on the bench in 3D.
Corrections are one tap. What it cannot verify, it says so. No invented confidence.
Swipe → a real rifle, one photo, three screens.
Photograph a rifle you don’t own — at the range, in a shop, across a case — and Gear Guy works out what it is looking at, part by part, and assembles it on the bench in 3D so you can turn it around and take it apart. It is a best guess and it tells you so; you correct whatever it got wrong, one tap at a time.
The result lands as a theoretical build: something to study, price out, and steal ideas from. It never enters your armory as something you own.
A Spear LT spotted in a hallway — medium confidence, and it says so.
From the result to the bench, tagged Spotted.
Log a session against the firearms you shot. Gear Guy offers to deduct those rounds from the ammo you actually own, and puts them back if you delete the session. Attach photos of your groups. Every firearm record carries a lifetime round count, including the rounds it had before you started logging.
Encrypted with everything else. No timers, no coaching. Your records, not your training.
Swipe → one real session, start to finish.
Your collection lives in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault on your phone. No account. No cloud. Nothing identifying ever leaves the device. Serial numbers are masked by default and never transmitted. The armory is yours in the oldest sense of the word.
Saved builds, owned parts, values, and an insurance-ready export when you need it. Share a build as a link and it opens back into the app — the parts, not your data.
A real armory. It stays encrypted on the phone it lives on.
Photograph a plate carrier, a helmet, a holster — Gear Guy lifts each one off its background and pins it to a board you arrange yourself. Group a carrier, its plates, the pouches and the medical kit into a named loadout and see the whole thing at once, the way it actually hangs in the closet. Plates to pouches, encrypted on your device like everything else.

A named loadout, filtered in one tap.
The AR-15 carries the full 3D parts bench — 251 parts and ten barrel lengths from 7.5″ to 20″. Thirteen of the fifteen render in 3D; the AK platform and Remington 870 are selectable with structured build records.
Owned and in the pipeline — listed here honestly, not presented as shipped.
Every image below is a real capture from the app — no external renderer, no compositing. Three of them are worked build files: every part, priced, with its fulfillment and NFA flags.
