actually talon, you can balance out era based on a tier system. There would be probably over 10 tiers because of the absurd price gaps and that already is a problem. But it would look like tier 1 competes with tier 2 but tier 1 is at a disadvantage to tiers 3+ while tier 2 can compete with tier 3 so on. Inside those tiers theres price issues, not a hard fix. Just make the guns T2Ks very close to each other (within .03-.3 seconds for the whole tier) and in theory if both shooters started shooting at the exact same time and all bullets hit, the gun that is more expensive with that .03 seconds will beat that gun all day every day in theory. So you will have an edge on another player however its a small edge and maybe something of a bonus like a faster reload or higher ammo count. However there are waaaaaay more factors in era such as freeze and reload time so you do have to find out a way to compensate for those. But as long as the T2Ks are balanced out, you will have an OK balanced game. For era (especially at this state), OK balanced would be amazing and should be the goal.
