I'm trying to make a matrix of gun attributes and the guns that fall under those categories. It may end up in a database of sorts. Where you come in is I'd like some help compiling desirable and undesirable attributes that we can categorize guns with. If this has already been done please post some links, I don't want to reinvent the wheel here. I'd like to divide guns' operation by the way they are separated on zdspb. com. I think I want to leave the brands of barrels, HPR, LPRs and things of that nature out due to the variety, but I still want to categorize whether or not a gun has an item. Assume all guns are fresh from the factory with no aftermarket upgrades.

Some of the categories I have come up with are as follows:
Low/Med/High Noise
Low/Med/High Air efficiency (rapid fire)
Low/Med/High Air efficiency (occasional fire)
Low/Med/High Vibration while firing (kick)
Magnetic Trigger
Optical Trigger
Mech Trigger
Pneumatic Mech Trigger
Pneumatic Electro Trigger
Single Finger Trigger
Double Finger Trigger
Small/Medium/Large Trigger guard space
Low/Med/High Shot Consistency (accuracy*)
Hammer/Valve Style
Poppet Style
Spool Valve Style
Single Tube Body
Double Tube Body
Triple Tube body
One Piece Barrel
Two Piece Barrel


*don't stir up ths arguement and get off topic. Assume perfect paint/bore matching. I'm talking about ball on ball placement.
