Era will currently undergo a massive statistical rebalance of its weaponry.
The process was geared to have minimal impact on prices, however, there will be impact (unavoidable). The standard of weaponry has been changed and all weapons were statistically altered to fit these new standards.
Oversight of the scheme is the creation of an all-time, Era Statistical Code of Arms.
Shown below is the opening statement of the document.

Opening Statement:
The following is a guideline for the creation, maintenance, and distribution of all publicized weaponry or those made with said intent upon release on Era. By definition, a publicized / intent-to-publicize weapon is that which has or is being statistically set for the direct or indirect purpose of release to the Erian general public. Weapons of such caliber must adhere to the guidelines that hereby follow. These guidelines are set for the overall discrete balance amongst Era weaponry based on price, type, rarity, purpose, and, insignificantly, realism. The weapons will hereby be broken into brackets, classes and then tiers. Each class/tier possesses very specific statistics that must be adhered to. These statistics will be set for the sole purpose of adherence to the previous basis disclosed and the overall balance of all weaponry.
