New to PERP? No clue what this fancy "Firearms" stat does or how you actually level it up? Read this guide to find out.
Firearms is a stat in PERP which is linked to crafting weapons, attachments, ammo, etc. You need different Firearms levels to craft different weapons - for example, you require Firearms level 87 to craft a Colt M4A1.
Firearms can possibly be the most daunting stat, due to the excessive amount of information and weapons involved with this. However, once you've got your head around it and you're past a certain point, it's easy sailing.
Here's what to start crafting if you're solely after levels and not bothered about cash:
Format: "Item -> Level up to which to craft this item"

Here's what to start crafting if you're solely after levels and not bothered about cash:
Format: "Item -> Level up to which to craft this item"
- Baseball bats -> Firearms level 3
- Pistol ammo -> Firearms level 20
- Double Barrelled Shotgun -> Firearms level 35
- Remington 870 -> Firearms level 40
After this point, craft whatever requires the highest level or costs the most, up until level 66.
5. Sniper Ammo -> Firearms level 85
At this point, you start to unlock popular rifles, such as AK-47s and Colt M4A1s, so you follow the same format of crafting whatever requires the highest level or costs the most, until you eventually hit level 125.
However, there are a few things which sell much better than others, if you're trying to make cash at the same time. (Recommended for newer players)

This spreadsheet (thanks to @Qyndryx for the foundation) details all of the weapons in the game, and their respective craft price and required levels.
TinyCalc (thanks to @TinySlayer) is a great option for a crafting calculator.
Crafting also requires genes. If you would like to be able to craft every weapon including bombs, this is the setup for you:
2 Regeneration
4 Perception
0 Influence - useless stat
4 Intelligence
3 Strength
2 Dexterity
Let me know if you feel that I need to add anything, or if you have any questions about this. You can do this by either replying, using the comment function, or using the message function on the forums.
Hope this helped.
