niche weapon ammunition too expensive

[wieditleestisg3k 3]

using wiki prices with no social, chip cost per 1000 rounds

light pistol = 304
heavy pistol = 636
light rifle = 864
.410 gauge = 960
12 gauge = 1140
heavy rifle = 1428
light machine gun ammo = 5100
viral ammo = 12325
incendiary slug = 13666

lets compare hornet auto pistol with zi bronco
both .2  fire rate and 26 damage
bronco is a whopping 1577.63% more expensive to run then the hornet
(and u can wield 2 auto pistols)

ga 99 pacifier vs lw hellfire shotgun
12 gauge = 1140
incendiary slug = 13666
comparable guns performance wise but lw is 1098.77% more expensive to run

viral gun, dps wise its around lvl 20 guns as a lvl 40 gun (tho less affected by resists)
ammunition cost wise its around 1937.89% to 4054.27% more expensive then guns with the same fire rate (cost range from heavy to light pistol ammo)

 

couldnt be arsed to do heavy weapons and grenades but atleast grenades are very expensive for what u get imo.

maybe craft count could be adjusted? crafting lvl compared to efficient regular ammo crafting levels are close or beyond in most cases
like if light machine gun went from 80 to 500 it would cost 816 per 1000 instead of 5100
they would still be niche weapons but maybe actually usable

 

niche ammunition 1000 round chip cost at 500 per craft =
viral ammo = 986
light machine gun ammo = 816
incendiary slug = 1640
