The people who do it in real life are criminals anyways and don't want the source to be traced because it is going to be used for illegal activity.

I'm not a soldier, i can still walk or drive to the gun store and buy a rifle, Remnant would be no different. Hell, they are more likely since there IS an ombi-present threat. It's not immediately obvious, but it is there and literally everyone knows it.

Not really, buying weapons from some shady dude in a back alley you ave a 50/50 chance of them not working at all, and you know basically nothing about them. Making them yourself you know the weapon inside-out and can fine tune it to your exact style. Even if you make a shit weapon at first, you would keep working and improving and modifying it over the course of 3-4 years. Learning how to build and repair weapons.

The ONLY thing illegally buying guns achieves is cheating himself out a learning experience, and you can be damn sure the school would make him start from scratch the minute someone realized he didn't build them himself for that exact reason.
