I don't know if it's confirmed just yet. Personally, i find that it doesn't make sense for her to be part machine since Gems can both shapeshift and regenerate. I have a hunch that her weapon is her entire suit. A power armor to be precise. Remember when Garnet launched her fists as projectiles? It's shown that whenever she summons her gauntlets, they act as her new hands, rather than just a weapon. As evidenced by the fact that there was a stump where her hand's supposed to be when she launched her gauntlets. Even further proven in this episode when she manipulated the gauntlet's fingers.

On the other hand though (no pun intended), maybe Homeworld placed a limit on regeneration on the lesser Gems after the Gem War fiasco?
