Where should I start with turning this into a 3d print?

I’ve been doing 3d printing for about 2 years now and I’ve made some complex projects but I decided to try and make my own project and I’m attempting to make a functional wave gun from cod zombies, however I don’t know where to start, should I make a model then make the individual parts? Any advice would be super helpful
