The material composition of the metals will dictate how it etches. Carbon content is key and can be a factor derived from smelting and or the working of the metal as well as the original composition of the ore. Other elements can also play a role, It seems the alternating pattern is deliberate. The gun looks fancy but the material in the barrel seems to be of low quality and shows a lot of porosity which I assume is from the etch.
