1874e Petros Rifle
1874e Petros Rifle is worth keeping when you want careful 11x54 mm shots or a base rifle for the later Petros upgrade path; panic fights punish it fast.
EB "Vita" Police Revolver is the rare revolver pickup that only beats selling when your next fight truly needs another 8x21mm sidearm.
EB "Vita" Police Revolver lives in the annoying middle ground where it is useful, but not priceless. A 100-Crown sale is worth noticing, but not enough to dump it automatically if your crew is short on handgun coverage. Keep it when the next fight wants another 8x21mm backup. Sell it when the loadout already feels comfortable and the slot or extra Crowns matter more.
It comes from weapon loot paths, including current POI drops such as Rock Group 8, then competes between sidearm use and a 100-Crown sale.

1874s Petros Sniper Rifle is worth the slot when the run really gives you range and enough 11x54 mm ammo to cash in on it; cramped fights expose the risk fast.

Anti-Reactor Rifle feels worth the slot in runs that actually want to pressure Trampler systems before boarding starts.
AV1 Rocket Launcher feels worth packing when you already have Rockets and expect targets that are worth burning them on.
Black Box only starts to matter once you have already won the reactor fight and still have enough left to get home.
Blitz 10R Pistol feels like the middle-ground Blitz: enough magazine to be usable, not enough to pretend it solves every close fight.
Blitz 15R Pistol feels like the Blitz version you keep when you want the family at its most forgiving.
Vita earns the slot when it fills a real sidearm gap. If it is the gun that keeps the next close fight under control, using it beats selling it.
If the crew already has enough close-range coverage, the gun stops being special and starts being a 100-Crown decision.
Yes, when the crew still needs another 8x21mm sidearm more than it needs the 100-Crown sale.
It gets risky when the crew lacks matching ammo, fights outside revolver range, or already has better sidearm coverage.
