After the split-off point, each type of shotgun goes through an additional crafting process before it is sold. The additional production process of the 12-gauge shotgun costs $30 per gun, after which it is sold for $180 per gun. The additional production process of the 20-gauge shotgun costs $25 per gun, after which it is sold for $150 per gun.
