Interesting choice of item to break down - i don't really think it applies to the idea of an industrial designed object as typically they're considered objects meant for mass production and this is definitely a one of a kind item with its more organic handle. With something this mixed of organic and inorganic its kind of hard to pick out what's intentional, purposeful flow vs incidental flow.
For the mind map, it looks like some of the elements you've listed don't appear on this particular gun but are more just generic elements of modern guns like the safety. You could go into further detail to try and break down some of the designers placement choices but as I mentioned above for the flow, this object looking more like a DIY project than an industrial designed one some of that thought process might be hard to decipher.
