If guns should be able to break, then any gun.
Not only standart guns, but gang guns too. Gangs have many benefits right now, they shouldnt get an additional one.

I think: player shops get an automat to repair guns, they need to feed it with lead and iron and things regularly, so that its able to repair.
The players pay a fee for that repair.

So that it brakes less often, players can clean the guns with a kit.
That takes 20 seconds, and pushes the dur high again, but not to maximum.

The lifetimes of guns should be limited:
start dur: 100
after time it goes down to: 0
after repair, only 90 remains.
next repair: 80.. and so on.

Cleaning kits should be able to give back 5 dur, but it cant push the maximum dur up again.

When max dur is down to 0, the gun can be restored, in shops also. That should cost more, but could happen in the same machine.

Repair could cost 1/4 of mineral production cost,
Restore could cost 1/2. The shops may set the price for the repair freely.

When a 0 dur weapon is not repaired, it should break randomly while shooting, and shouldnt be repairable anymore then.
