{{{Yellow Ammo}}} - Short ranged guns, pretty much all early game unless you want to meme with double G18C or get vector or CZ-3A1

G18C - A mini mac 10 or vector, early game you can pump someone with a clip of this and if you hit all shots it'll do a ton of damage. You can use a sort of shotgun strategy with this, where you put all the bullets in someone and get behind cover to reload and do it again. The dual version of this isn't really conventional at all - however if you want to have some fun you can use it, and treat it like a MAC-10. Basically if you get close to someone who's kind of at low HP and empty your clip into them, they die. Overall i'd switch this out for any SMG, Assault Rifle, or Shotgun when you get one, unless you want to have some fun.

M9 - The definition of a pistol. Spam your click as it's not auto fire. I would only use this if you have too, swap out for SMG, Assault Rifle, or Shotgun. Also great choice against naked people with fist.

M93R - It's a burst fire pistol, that does some decent damage. Personally it's my favorite pistol. It can even compete against MP5 played right! It's spread is good compared to the other pistols too.

MAC-10 - The MAC-10, if it's a battle of DPS you will always win. Yes it even does a little bit more damage than vector. It is quite a one use gun however, where it's only useful if you are basically 2 inches (5 cm) in front of someone. I would swap this out for a shotgun, as it has more versatility (See M870). Also it gets hard countered by MP-220, and good/has-katana-which-requires-0-skill melee players

MP5 - The earliest auto gun you'll probably get. Auto guns pair up with basically any other weapon, with the other weapon usually being the trump card, and the auto gun being just a stream of DPS. As for the MP5, it's quite short ranged for an auto gun (Nothing like vector or a pistol, but compared to something like AK) If you find another auto gun, swap this out for it. Not a bad choice though.

UMP9 - A burst fire! Personally I would only use this if you have a reason for needing a slightly longer range than the MP5. Also you need good aim with this. Swap out for any decent auto gun (AK, M416, or even FAMAS)

Vector - This is a MAC-10 but usable end game. You need to still bait people towards you to properly use this, which means it gets countered by any tryhard players with long range stuff that keep grenading your cover. Also gets countered by MP220, as they'll take your bait only to do more DPS. I would treat this as a high-tier gun, only swap this out for things like QBB or above. (It can be better than QBB in some environments though) Also you can use the shotgun strategy of, unload your clip into someone, get behind cover, reload and do it again.

CZ-3A1 - I don't see this gun a lot, but mostly when I see it I get scared thinking it's an AWM, only to see yellow bullets and have a sigh of relief. A lot of people say it's an "upgraded vector" but personally I think its more an "alternate vector" It does about the same as vector (vector does a tiny bit more), and it doesn't have the sheer bullets per second vector does. It's kind of some weird buffed MP5, which gets countered by long range. Also it's silenced but that doesn't really matter much unless you are fighting some garbage player who actually can't see the bullets. I would take it over vector always, but just remember it's played differently than vector, and it isn't a huge upgrade.

{{{Blue Ammo}}} - Snipers and assault rifles, every gun in here is a solid choice (besides THAT one)

AK-47 - In my opinion you can swap M416 and this back and forth. They are essentially the same gun with very small differences. Most people (or maybe i'm blind) agree this is slightly better than M416, but if you see both this and M416 just pick up the one that you have more ammo for. See my statement on auto guns from MP5, it pairs up really any other gun. This really is a good mid-game gun. The difference between this and M416, is it fires a little slower in exchange for a bit more damage per bullet.

BAR-M1918 - See my statement on auto guns from MP5, it pairs up with really any other gun. Very good mid-game, and still a solid choice end-game! It's around the same rarity as something like a QBB. From my time using this, if you hit your shots this will out dps other assault rifles. It's great long range too! I would always take this over things like AK-47 or DP-28. I would still take QBB over this however.

DP-28 - The DP-28 is kind of alternate AK-47. It shoots quite strange, slow bullets and a pretty bad spread. But it's has a giganto magazine! It's range should be treated as sort of MP5 ish. Medium range. I would take this over AK-47, but not over a SCAR-H

Mosin-Nagant - Ah yes, the fabled Mosin-Nagant. You probably a heard a lot from it if you watch tryhards. The first time I heard about quickswitching snipers, I thought it was some miracle kill all sort of thing. And yes, I do take this most of the time and treat it as a high tier weapon, even over something like SCAR or BAR. However, it is a very high skill weapon. First of all, to snipe you need to either get lucky with your shots, or have very good aim. This can be used kind of like a shotgun assault rifle hybrid, hide behind a rock, hit person, hide and hit again. Extremely versatile. If I find something like a QBB, switching out of my mosin is really kind of how i'm feeling. If i'm feeling like i'm being a god sniper, or if i'm being garbage and need to use the easier QBB. If you plan on trying to become a top player, make a quickswitch key, and practice this weapon day and night. (But don't forget to practice things like shotguns too!) The thing about this sniper in particular is it's reload sucks, a lot. So if you have no ammo left and someone is trying to drill you, you might be done. Also this gets countered by campy people (cough mckellen) Any really good close range tryhards might do you in. This probably wont win DPS battles either, so don't get in a directly infront of an AK. Good luck.

M39-EMR - Quite a strange weapon, I usually never take this thing. An AK-47 or any other assault rifle usually seems more versatile than it. It's still pretty good though, if you are epic aimer. It's no mosin though, I made that mistake.

M1-Garand - The M1-Garand is the M39-EMR done right. If you are an epic aimer, then definitely take this over AK-47 or maybe even SCAR. It does heavy DPS if you hit your shots. Great long range, and easier to use than mosin nagant.

OT-38 - The meme pistol. Be honest you probably trash-talked this thing before. I don't have a lot to say about it, but it is surprisingly accurate, and does a fair bit of damage. You can actually treat this kind of like a mosin early game. Yes, unironically quickswitch this and use obstacles. If the player is hot garbage, maybe you'll snag yourself an AK-47. Heck, I even cleaned up somebody decent with SAIGA with OT-38 snipes. But yes, switch this out for any auto gun.

SCAR-H - if DP-28 is an alternate AK-47, SCAR-H is more of a direct upgrade. It's clip is quite small, but if you have a direct line of sight on someone, and hit a lot of the shots, they will take heavy damage. You have to take into account it's clip though, don't go wasting this on someone hiding behind a rock.

SV-98 - A mosin-nagant upgrade. I don't want to make another paragraph, so read the mosin for my thoughts on snipers. This weapon is (essentially) the same as mosin in damage, firing speed, bullet speed, etc (it does a very small amount more) The main difference is the reload problem is made much better. It reloads 10 at once at a decent speed (The same time it takes the mosin to reload 3 bullets). Also it looks cooler, both in it's bullet and gun skin.

{{{Green Ammo}}} - These guns are quite strange, there's some really good guns, there's some trash guns.

FAMAS - Remember the ump? This is the ump but better. But don't get your hopes up, it still gets yeeted on by any assault rifles at medium range. The goal of this gun is to get the 2 bullets on to someone, and hide. Personally I don't like it, but there's some people who will use it over something like AK. Also you need good aim.

M249 - Do you ever see this gun? Well I do every blue moon. When you get this gun it isn't auto win, but it is a very good gun. Your goal with this one is to take someone out of cover, and spray them down into loot. Or even just destroy there cover! This gun is tons of fun, it is quite easy to use, so even the noobs can have the fun of domination. Just remember, it isn't auto win, you still have to think. A good pair-up for this would be a sniper, or spas. Oh yeah and reload time, just get behind cover.

M416 - This gun is still the HK in my heart. I will never truly accept it being called the "M416" ;-;. Read the AK-47, because it's basically the same gun as this! The difference on this one is this one fires faster then the AK-47 for a little more damage.

M4A1-S - Actually saw AWM 3 times more than this. Mega rare gun. I can't even really say much about this gun because I only used it 2-3 times! It's a great great assault rifle though, and while it may not even be as good as QBB, I would still use it over it just because when people see you have this gun they'll know you are a baller 8).

Mk 12 SPR - Hey you know the M39-EMR, and M1-Garand? Yeah this is the same auto sniper kind of gun, but garbage! It does very little damage, but fires fast, so it's like an assault rifle, but not a constant stream of damage! I would switch this out for AK-47. Maybe I am bullying this gun too hard, it's not that bad, but it's not that good.

QBB-97 - M249 on a budget. lol but actually, I used this in a lot of comparisons, but it truly is a great great great assault rifle. It's stellar long range, and good medium range. I would pair this up with MP-220 (as it's counter is good close range players). It's quite easy to use too. I kind of can give the same tips as M249, just bait people out of there cover.

{{{Red Ammo}}} - Shotguns, the concept is someone gets close and they die (hopefully)

M870 - A great early and mid game weapon if used with cover. This has the same boost of power to it as snipers do with quickswitching. However, it is quite funky to use with quickswitching as it has a bit of delay in shooting when you switch it out. This will actually out DPS SPAS-12, so it's better at medium range and close range. Don't go trying to use this as a main weapon though (unless you are just having fun then go right ahead, it's not that hard lol.)

SPAS-12 - A kind of late game version of M870. This one is even better with quickswitching, it has less a delay between when you switch it out and when it will fire again. It's also extremely annoying to go against, if the player is good! Also very long range from what you would expect a shotgun, even if it's spread is bad it still can do a bit of damage.

Saiga-12 - Automatic M870, absolutely godly medium range. Spray down someone with the fury of 1000 suns, and they go byebye. However, I think MP220 wins in some environments (Read MP220) It a little different in how it's used so it might take a few tries to get the hang out of it.

MP220 - Oh god, this gun has almost the same amount of reputation the OT-38 does. The most annoying gun in the game besides maybe AWM. 2 pumps, no firing delay between those 2 pumps, just a short reload time. If you get both pumps that's 500 damage, instakill for anyone with little armor, and heavy table turning damage for anyone with decent armor. It is quite hard to hit both shots too. It's counter is long range, but if you are great at baiting, you'll be sure to piss off someone. Throw BM emojis for added effect :). Stellar in environments with lots of obstacles. Also it has actually a bit of range, you can kind of use this like M870. It's a great gun to hide too, keep your assault rifle out, if someone knows you got this gun they probably wont go close.

M1100 - Compared to the other shotguns, this one is hot garbage. Still a decent secondary early game. Some people say it "out DPS's M870" which I don't know how true that is because I beat M1100 every time early game with M870, but even if so it can't be used in the traditional hit & run that makes shotguns a great secondary. But if you are inside a building just spam this thing into someone with the fury of ten thousand suns and hope they die. As soon as you find any other shotgun swap this out for it.

{{{Special Ammo}}} - swag guns

Deagle-50 - These bullets do so much damage, if you get every bullet it should outdamage a lot of other things. The thing is it's not a constant stream of bullets, and it's not really that long range. However, it still is a great choice mid game. Usually i'll pick this up above AK-47. Oh and the dual version is even more epic :).

Awm-S - Remember the SV-98? Well lets sacrifice 5 bullets from it's clip, and some bullet speed, but let it 2 or 1 shot any single thing in the game. Double tier three armor? Who cares! You barely ever see it, but it's such a wonderful gun. It's actually a little hard to hit people with this because the bullets travel slow, but eventually you'll most likely hit unless you are hot garbage. In my personal opinion, with obstacles this is the best gun in the game. In a flat field 1v1, perhaps the M249 will beat it though. (although either one can win) A good pair up is MP220, but you can just solo use this gun and you'll be fine most likely. Again though, this gun is NOT auto win, if you get half hp and some person rushes you down he'll probably be able to kill you. So don't go full braindead when using this, just half braindead.

Flare Gun - Truly, the most powerful gun in the game, only spawning once every YEAR on average for surviv. The one time I had this, I clicked and it made a vortex which sucked in every single player in the game and made them all die instantly. Besides one man, without armor, in target red. The target red man started drilling me with his MP5, and I thought it was over, but then I used my final shot on the Flare Gun. The shot blotted out the sun itself with how big it was, and the target red man kept drilling me even when the flare gun was doing damage to him (the bullet doesn't despawn, its like the redzone) When I was one shot to death, I saw the win screen pop up. And don't get me started about the DUAL flare guns, those, well. Those are the stuff of lovecraft mythos. You can't lose with this gun, even if you aren't clicking. Also it pairs well with the mighty M1100.
