Question about Hunters and the Gunslinger ability (Destiny)

Apologies if this has already been answered, but I can't find a straight answer on any Destiny wikis and I don't want to accidentally spoil myself on other things.

Regarding the hunter's golden gun, way of the gun, gunslinger etc-

The gun the hunter pulls out appears to be separate from the other weapons they could be carrying. For example, if a hunter has a hand cannon equipped and activates that ability, a different pistol comes out (or does it?) for the duration of the ability. Likewise, if a hunter doesn't have a hand cannon equipped but opted for say, an auto-rifle, the golden gun still materializes from somewhere when the ability is triggered.

(I admit right now I did not play hunter in the beta)

My first question is, is what I just said above accurate?

My second question is, does that golden gun have a specific name? Does anyone have any images of it up close?
