💰 Price formation mechanism

The price figures are not absolute historical restoration (for example, 1 US dollar in 1899 is directly equal to 1 US dollar in the game), but the pursuit of **price correlation** reality.

• **Purchase Price Formula**: `Historical Price * 6` (`* 8` for Food Category).
• **Sale Price Formula**: `Historical Price * 3`.

**Why is a multiplier needed? ** Because not all prices can be modified, and some mission rewards are too high and cannot be edited. Multipliers are necessary to maintain the overall balance of the game.

**Formula Exceptions**:

• **Drugs**: May be more expensive than historical prices (due to their higher in-game utility).
• **Horses**: The purchase price is mostly kept as default (for balance considerations, it is much easier to obtain horses in the game than in reality).
• **Clothing**: Basically unchanged, the default value is close to the formula calculation value.
• **Barber Service**: Unchanged.
• **Bounty Rewards**: Unchanged due to technical reasons.

🔫 Weapons and Ammunition

• **Weapon Price**: Following the formula of `Historical Price * 6`, rare weapons are more expensive.
• **Scope**: The price is 10 times the original price. The scope of the sniper rifle is detachable.
• **Ammunition Price**: Significant increase, the formula is `Historical Price * 6`, special ammunition is more expensive.
• **Ammunition Cap**: reduced to realistic amounts (40-60 rounds per ammo for revolvers, less for rifles, etc.).
• **Amount of ammunition that can be purchased**: 20 rounds of revolvers/repeating guns/pistols can be purchased at a time instead of the original 60 rounds.
• ⚠️ **Note**: When purchasing from the catalog, the displayed ammo quantity may still be the original (incorrect display), it is recommended to purchase directly from the gunsmith customization menu.
