Rifles: Looks good, remember to always use advancedstocks though cause99.9% of the players walking in your shop will take a look at the damage, and if it is just one point below their current weapon oranother shop they just checked, they will leave.
Carbines: You have way too many ee3's, dxr's are kinda overstocked too, lower them to 10 each and increase amount of lasers.
Pistols: Scout blasters and fwg5's sell (alot)better than the dl44 imo.
Melee: Gaffi sticks and stun batons are good to have stocked along with the vk's too.
As a combat shopper I wouldn't even bother looking at the DL44's, If i'm just starting the grind I would use a scout blaster then pick up the FWG5 later, the dl44 would never even have been considered.

DL44's are a little better I think. Miy dl44's are 2.0 speed just +.2 speed more then a scout. But they are a good 30 points of dmg higher. They have higher ham costs but hey everyones buffed anyways. Okay maybe I do thinkgs a little differently but I have 50 of every weapon (except tangle and striker pistols) and I just restock the higher selling stuff. The more selection you have the more people will come back to you. I have spraysticks, but I dont sell a whole lot or make a fortune off of them, but the person that buy's my spraysticks because he cant find them any where else, well he will come back after he has mastered rfielman and keep shopping at my store and buy those 200-300k t21's. Thats my philosophy anyways.
Well, iIf we are getting pecky then 
Last runI made of scout blasters were 1.6 speed and 73-150 damage
A long time sinceI made dl44's, but lets assume they are 70-180 (30 more max, and the minI just took out of the blue,it is actually lower iirc), and your stated2.0 speed
Average damage/speed = dps (damage per second)
Scout: ((73+150)/2) / 1.6 = 69.6875
DL44: ((70+180)/2) / 2.0= 62.5000
And whoop, the scout do more average damage (and have higher point blank accuracy, but that is another discussion).
Now, do the buyer know this? No, he will look at max damage and see 30 points more and buy that gun. But the Scoutblaster is a better gun than the DL44, no question about it.

Not sure what aluminum you got there on chimerea, gimme some on chilastra haha. My scouts are 1.8 speed 155 max. I dont see how you got your speed tp 1.6 please fill me in on this secret.
Alu: 798cd, 960oq
Metal: 932cd, 978oq
Tryusing a regular barrel instead of an advanced as this will lower speed with .2 normally on pistols by sacrificing a fewpoints of damage if you can't hit 1.6 (or whatever depending on weapon),pistoleers tend to like the fasterguns in general as they aren't speedcapped as the riflemen
Tsk tsk, 12 points and still obsessed witha fewextra damage points, guess it isn't those extra two points that distinguish a true master from Mr. average joe with the (Master Weaponsmith) tag
