  Another possible factor is the "dilution" due to cessation of
production of AW's (due to the "AW ban".)

  With the continued production of non-AW functional equivalents (but
cosmetically not AW) the proportion of AW's in any group of guns chosen
for their function and/or availability will be going down.
