Firearms can be purchased from Sharpshooters, but can also be purchased elsewhere.
If certain firearms are purchase through the team (e.g. Ruger 10/22, Glock G44), there is a discount provided since they come directly from the manufacturers. However, because of high demand and supply chain shortages, there will most likely be a delay in shipments.
