OOC: Hello all,
I am intending to trying to cut my own slice in the market of the NationStates Arms trade, but I am a little stumped on starting a storefront. Particularly, how do you work out the costs of the manufacturing of the weapons? Obviously, this is pretty important because then you can set prices and make profit. (:D)
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Regards all.

Well, usually you can google a site or something to find some prices...I don't have them bookmarked right now, but maybe someone else does.
Also, you can guestimate and get comments.

For specs or stats on existing real life weapons, these are 3 good sites:
Global Security (http://www.globalsecurity.org/)
Federation of American Scientists (http://www.fas.org/)
Army Technology (http://www.army-technology.com/)

If you want information on personal weaponry like rifles (M16, AK-47 etc) use
world.guns.ru. Seriously, it is brilliant
Wow. The first Dec 2004 nation I've seen.
Try:
www.army-technology.com
www.naval-technology.com
www.airforce-technology.com

Correct, its a sort of web-ring they have going on.
As for your store-front, I'd say go for it!
PS: Links to pictures also do wonders for me, maybe a tip for you.
