isnt it obvious? you used squares, the game reads polygons...

so it made its own polys from those squres, resulting in backfaces(not holes in it, if they were holes lines would be shooting from the gun

but just so you know a square is a polygon

polygons are 2d shapes that have more than 3 sides

Just use triangles, and do not use any other shape that is more than three edges at a time when modeling. Clear?
