If the equipment dealer has an item in their list, and they won't sell it to you, it's not because the item is "out of stock", it's because you need to have a better rep. with the faction that runs the base... they don't trust you... you might try to use their weapon technology against them. You can either pay to have your rep. hacked, take jobs from the faction, or just kill their enemies. The more kick-ass the weapon is, the more friendly you need to be with them.
Everyone seems to gravitate to the Nomad guns as "the best", but you can't buy those, you have to "earn" them another way.
However, of the guns you can purchase, the Outcast Kraken Type 2 c9 particle gun is hard to beat -- high efficiency, highest damage output (higher than most of the c10 guns). A Kraken Turret matches up with the guns nicely on a Sabre: identical range, speed, and refire rate as the guns... or, try a Corsair Rapier Turret instead, which also matches range, speed, and refire rate with the Krakens, but is a pulse weapon to tear down shields faster. The Civilian Adv. Debilitator Turret is almost identical to the Rapier Turret, but more energy efficient, and also has cool projectile gfx, whereas the Corsair pulse guns have "invisible" projectiles.
You can get the Kraken guns/turret at Ruiz Base in Omicron Beta, The Rapier Turret at Planet Crete or Tripoli Shipyard in Omicron Gamma, and the Adv. Debilitator Turret at Detroit Munitions in Manhattan or Yukawa Shipyard in Honshu.
