P90 Highcaps suck but the gun rules. Gun has been very well used.

Just a note: Even if a gun has enough "reviews" to draw conclusions,
people should keep posting them (ex: TM 226). The more infos the more accurate the conclusion will be.

Right?

Absolutely. Ideally I'd like about 10 per gun. I can regularly check up on them and see if any new issues have come up. Studying 10 different people should give an idea of some of the common problems while varying things like maintenance and use. For example, several people pointed out the G36 cocking handle problem. That's from people who've used the gun varying amounts and maintained it differently, so it's worth mentioning.

More P226 is welcome, as well as any other new pieces.
