Voting should only be used if two designs come out the same or extremely close to the same on a weighted objective matrix.

The way this sort of matrix works is the you have a number of requirements or goals, each with a weighting of how important it is. For example, rules compliance would get a 5 on a scale of 1-5, while "cool" gets maybe a 1 (if it's even considered). Each design is evaluated against the same set of requirements and given a score (on a scale of 1-5 or 1-10) on how well it meets that requirement. High score wins. Very close high scores get sent to a more detailed matrix for further evaluation, and the process repeats.

We used a weighted decision matrix. But I am staring, currently, at 104 votes, 94 of which are for shooters. So they seem to be the really popular choice.

Nah, that doesn't sound as good.
