[RPG] Unchained Summoner and Eidolons Reach Evolution for multiple weapons

eidolonpathfinder-1e

I am building an Eidolon from unchained summoner and I need to clarify some things. My Eidolon will have multiple arms (4+) and I plan on giving it weapons. I would like to take the reach evolution which increases the Eidolon's reach by 5 feet for one attack. Does it apply to a single weapon, or all the weapons? This assumes of course that all the weapons will be the same.

There is a similar question here but it deals with a singular weapon, and not multiple so my question is different.

There's a FAQ related to this:

Summoner: If I choose the reach evolution for my eidolon, how many of its attacks gains increased reach?

The ability description says "pick one attack," not "pick one attack type." So if your eidolon has two claws and you pick "claw" for the reach evolution, only one claw gets increased reach. (The reach evolution is intended to let you emulate having a dragon-eidolon, as a dragon's bite attack has greater reach than its claws.)

If we extrapolate that out, if you have 4 manufactured weapons only one such manufactured weapon would gain the reach, even if they're all the same weapon

Note: This FAQ is for the chained summoner, though I feel it's still relevant to unchained as well, considering the Reach evolution for both chained and unchained is worded exactly the same. So, absent any specific wording elsewhere for the unchained eidolon, I would say the intention is the same, and this FAQ applies.
