Would it make more sense (economically) to make guns degradeable but easier to obtain?
Such as manufacturing them on your own, spending money to create them or just buying them from an npc store to take care of the time it might take to create an M16 or Famas.

If you made it so that you could manufacture gun parts from minerals, and then manufacture guns from the parts it might help to spread out the money a bit more.
It would of course make sense to have certain guns require vary rare or hard to get parts
thusly increasing their price/value on the market. (Maybe we could implement that territory idea to a certain gang having exclusive access to some mines in their territory with a specific mineral that was still hard to obtain but possible in that mine?)

A lot of people wouldn't like that idea, having to re-obtain your weapons, but it would economically make a lot of sence. (Nobody's 9mm beretta is going to last forever without parts being replaced, but then again this is a game who cares)

And I guess your projectile weapons shouldnt "Break" but they should need to be repaired with certain parts at some point (Oh god complicated).

If the market is varied more, as well as things to do it might help Era out a bit more.

Again that idea is just some random thought and I'm sure that some people who don't want to lose anything and live in a perfect game where they can sit on their butts and not work for anything once they get that ub3r1337sw33t gun.
