You have 50 gigas rifles in both of your small gun stores. How much will you sell them for?

Your new gun is a big hit! You've sold 50 so far, but now a new big business called 'Plasma Guns!' has made the first plasma pistol and is stealing all your buyers. What will you do?

Alright, how about this:
Its a clinically proven fact that shooting animals with plasma guns causes execcive damage to the animals skin, destroying it and most of the flesh underneath it. Thats alot of stuff wasted, and who wants a deer hide when theres a huge hole in it? Go with Rifles from Gun's N' Stuff. Less hide damage. Less flesh damage. Starve the carrion.

Your advertisement was a success! Cost: $5 000

A rush of customers came to your store and bought all your guns.
You earned: $6 000

Profit: $1 000

For now, I'd like to invent a simple rechargable battery, called the JES PowerBox. It comes in four sizes: S (for PDAs, phones and tablets), M (for laptops and things, also good as an external battery for games consoles, desktop PCs and TVs which lack batteries). L is for home appliances like refrigerators.
Oh, and as for XL, it's for backup power supplies for entire homes.

For machinery, I get a decent fuel cell maker and buy an outlet in an area prone to blackouts.

And in case you're wondering, they're all the same type of nuclear battery, but... well, scaled-up.

You decide what to buy:

Fuel cell makers:
Cheap fuel cell maker: $5 000
Average fuel cell maker: $10 000
Complex fuel cell maker: $50 000
Advanced fuel cell maker: $100 000

Luckily there are two stores for sale in blackout prone areas

Stores:
(Temporary) Small store: $30 000 (discounted)
(Temporary) Medium-sized store: $80 000 (discounted)

Also, will you sell the batteries individually in packets, both or what?

Well, I dont think people will be wanting the same types of guns.
I make 50 rifles in both stores again, and try to sell them for 120$ (I took money)
I also want to start to research the Gigas Hunting Rifle II Now with rail sights, so you can put on a scope. The clip has been extended to three from one, but it is still bolt action. I hope I can afford this with my research points....
