Yes, you can, if the other person is not moving and is not shooting. Or is shooting the wrong way. But basically, any ***** who knows how to walk and shoot could defeat someone with a hand gun if they have a better gun.

Not really monthly, but a lot. This is the problem with a lot of classic servers; they reset a lot. The first time they reset (a year ago?) it was needed, but now they're going to reset again .... not needed.

If the problem is people who have a higher "market skill" which allows them better guns then seperate them - not forcibly - give them a reason to seperate. Make a new area which is harder, either because of tougher players or another factor (NPCs) but also has better lewts than the previous place.

This gives the new players room to grow and the old players a continual challenge.

Era doesn't have a market. You work, and buy a gun. That's really all there is. If you want to be good, grind and grind.
