This will be added to the rules.

This is being added; the new condition will be called "WINDED".

There's already a small chance of breaking a weapon.  This may be
increased, or wear-n-tear might be introduced.

This has been added (the command is "SELL") and you currently get 80%
of your purchase price back.

This exists and has been added to the rules.

Your other suggestions have been noted as well.  Thanks for the input.
