It's my observation that people don't dig ambiguity in firearms reviews. They want to hear either that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and they ought to run right out and buy it, or that it's a total dog.
The truth is that most guns are, to a greater or lesser degree, pretty much "meh". The ones that aren't are either scarily expensive or the actual total dogs that nobody in their right mind would send to an honest reviewer.
