How we count ⌄
These shares come from GunPartPicker's build data: real parts lists people put together while planning a purchase, not sales or surveys. A build counts a part only when it is the final pick for its slot, so parts that were swapped out never count. Fit never comes from these numbers; it comes from our compatibility rules alone.
