Ok so far we only have access to 8 weapons in the demo and there will be ten more in the full version. lets discuss them.

Pistol(s) - you always have your trusty single pistol. Picking up a second and you have dualies. ALWAYS GET DUALIES. If you get knocked down you must resort to your pistols and you can't spam them. So having twice the ammo to cover someone as they pick you up is important. Also aiming for the head is effective rather than body spam, since one bullet ot the head kills normal zombies.

Uzi - Nifty gun here. Good for burst damage and panic kills. good for covering a teammate or killing a special zombie but lacks ammo and the punching advantage of the shotgun.

Pump Shotgun - Staple of zombie killers everywhere. Your shotgun guy should be first through the door. The stopping power and the ability to reload while shooting is crucial. Also the shotgun user is your front man for horde attacks. Position him in front of the enemy and have him crouch and continually melee. By doing this, zombies will not get past and teammates can shoot over the shotgun user.

Molotov - Great for crowds and defense. But be warned flailing flammable zombies are not fun if they get close.

Pipe Bomb - A myriad of uses here. Throw away from self and team, and watch zombies sprint to it. Be warned it has a slow animation and can have nasty bounces. So be prepared for when you want to throw it. Special zombies will not chase these however. Use the time it takes to detonate wisely, such as helping teammates or running the fuck away.

Assault Rifle - What can't be said about a 50 round clip assault rifle? Well for one, ammo. Don't waste this badboy by spraying and praying since one shot to the head takes down a standard zombie like the pistols. Good for taking down enemies in a hallway or chokepoint. Very good for blasting a witch or tank.

Sniper Rifle - Good for picking off enemies from a distance with headshots. Can make large rooms of enemies much easier. Also good for setting off environmentals like gas cans. This player should generally stay towards the back and shoot over teammates. More of a support weapon. I think we'll see its effectiveness in other missions.

Auto Shotty - Like the pump shotgun but waaaaay better. Faster shots, larger clip fast reload as well. Use the same as a pump shotty but dont be afraid to spam an oncoming horde, for they will fall like swiss cheese.

A NOTE ABOUT ALL WEAPONS!!!

Do Not Empty The Entire Clip. Always save one round before reloading. If you reload with an empty clip, the reload is extra long. As long as one round is left you dont have to cock the gun, or prime it. This is important, and difficult to master. Just get a feel for how much ammo you shoot when you fire.

discuss.

EDIT!

Updated to point out another fact i forgot to mention. If you reload a weapon and use the melee attack, you keep reloading while the melee is going on. So reloading then pushing the zombies a couple times will net you full ammo to blast them with.
