Hey all,

I was wondering if people could give their opinion on what they think the different guns in the game are used for, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

Ex:

Ruger77: long-range weapon.
strength - has a 4-bullet clip and can kill someone with 2 bullets.
weakness - hard to aim.

Just an example...please dont flame![:D]

Thanks!

My current favs, and why...

AK47 - Cool gun. Effective too. Hail to Russian quality!.. But kinda long reload time...

Knife - Deadly... And can be thrown! Though not far...

Ruger - Fast firing sniper, quick reload. And could use a larger clip.

... Come to think of it, I use everything except the minigun and barrett.

Oh well, DEAGLES ROCK!

That adds a lot of tactics. Throw 2 or 3 grens in the direction of an enemy and blow him (and the folks around him) up with the M79...
