The pedestal is constantly turning on itself, and the ASHPD shoots a portal each time it faces one of the four walls of the room it is in. When each of the two versions of the gun are found, they are seen placed on a pedestal in the middle of a Test Chamber.

It is later upgraded in Test Chamber 11 to fire the orange portals as well (while another model is found there, it actually consists of an upgrade to the current model, as said by GLaDOS). Items picked up with the ASHPD's manipulator can be carried though portals, which proves to be very useful in several test chambers.Дuring Portal, Chell first acquires the ASHPD in Test Chamber 02 it fires only blue portals. It cannot catch Aperture Science High Energy Pellets, the equivalent of Combine Energy Balls, due to the weaker manipulator. It also cannot punt them as the Gravity Gun can, so the only way to throw the object is to physically swing the ASHPD itself, which can at best send the object a few meters away. If the space between the object and the ASHPD is interrupted by a solid object, there is a chance that the object will be dropped, which can sometimes occur when traveling through portals at high velocity and the object accidentally hits the edge of the portal or another object in the surrounding area. It can pick up objects, but only those directly in front of it. The ASHPD also has a zero-point energy field manipulator, similar to the Gravity Gun but far weaker. ATLAS and P-body each use a variant on those two colors ATLAS uses light blue and purple portals, while P-body uses yellow and red portals. Chell's ASHPD uses blue and orange (Or red if you look in the settings) portals. The portals fired by the ASHPD each have a distinct color. If a third is fired, the other of its type will be automatically closed and a new link will be formed.

The device can only create two portals at a time. If one portal is shot into its opposite, the portal will be formed next to the first one, assuming the surface has enough room for it to form otherwise, it will dissipate as normal. If the surface cannot accommodate a portal for whatever reason, the shot will dissipate in a shower of colored particles. Upon striking the targeted surface, a portal is formed, surrounded by a colored ring. When the ASHPD is fired, a burst of colored energy is emitted from the barrel, corresponding to the colored portal it is intended to create. It has two triggers, one for each of its two portals. A light in the small hole on the top of the ASHPD and its glowing glass tube both have the color of the last portal shot. The ASHPD is held with a hand behind the weapon, holding the handle/trigger, while the other hand supports the barrel. Material Emancipation Grills will block any attempt to shoot portals through them, as well as reset any active portals should the ASHPD pass through it.

Moving objects, or certain types of surfaces, will prevent the formation of a portal (The only exception to this is in the neurotoxin generator in Portal 2). Though considering that fact that portals can be placed on what seems to be standard concrete, and that the device was used in the 1950s by Aperture before the discovery of the moon rocksвЂ™s capabilities, it is likely that moon rock is not required for the creation of portals but instead just very effective. The portals can be placed on any surface which is made out of manufactured or refined moon rock and large enough to accommodate them. No matter the distance between them, any object which passes through one portal will emerge from the other and vice versa instantaneously. The ASHPD is a hand-held device which has the ability to manufacture two linked portals. Chell facing a portal she just created in Test Chamber 04.
