the stock on my stores only does melee (powerhammer, vk, gaffi, lva, stun) but I do make private custom orders for ranged

You could probably make money off all the TKAs out there, but I suggest you make all melee weapons. Melee Weapons are WAY easier to make than ranged weapons, and the "in" thing right now is melee.. so start cooking up those melee weapons

Ya just get some a few more resources for advanced sword and reinforcement cores. I can make decent melee weapons right now but ranged weapons are a lot tougher.

after beating my head against the wall trying to figure out how to make everything, I finally gave up and decided to only make Carbines.
It's a virtually dead market, I know (because of the lack of carbineers). Perhaps, if Carbineer gains popularity, I can end up cornering the market.
I still need resources, though, so it's a pain.

I sell only melee weapons so far, because only bieng WS for like 1 month i need 11 more certain resources to be able to make everything, itd be nice if ppl would sell them, i posted 3 posts already saying what i need and not received one reply.
My melee are all above standard so ill get some money from that, tho its hard also not being a full time WS, getting to jedi sux lol.

ranged weapons are a pain to make! I do make them but they are hard and need a lot of componets and good resoucres cand advhed stuff.
melee on the other hand is simple.

i make everything but i sell far more grenades and melee than ranged stuff
if you really wanted to specialize i would go with a group of weapons like all melee rather than just vibromotor containing weapons otherwise it may be too specific a group to market to.
crates of vk's tend to sell at a decent rate though just because people go through them fast so maybe crates of each of the vibromotor containing weapons would be enough? kind of risky imo though
good luck

i personally plan just to make carbines - im currently grinding weaponsmith at a very slow speed but when the right resources come along i will start making carbines - i feel its a weapon type that just need a little experimentation to combat the shortfalls in the profession

Ditto. All ranged weapons I make are for guild members or friends.
