fire arms in 4

[Cybil Bennett]

I have used the firearms but I try to use them only when I can't get past a boss or some one who just won't die after trying for a long time with a melee wepon. Im a big fan of the Melee wepons in the 4th SH. I mean come on there's an Aluminum Bat. But when Eileen is trying to kick ass with a hand bag, come on she's a brave soul thinking a hand bag would work and she's most likely not carring bricks around in her bag to make it a good wepon.

As FBA 6100 and Malicious said, I only used up my revolver and most of my pistol ammo on the group of head-bird things on the Water Prison 2nd Time.

Still, I couldn't help Eileen getting her ass kicked, that's when she first started acting weird...

I shoot the babies and with the bosses

I used the handgun up until i got the metal bat. Then i unloaded on walter with the revolver.

Thats all i used them for, the swords were my weapon for the bosses!

i hardly used firearms, mainly the axe for me. only used firearms if i really needed to

I only use the handgun for the three patients on the stairs in the hospital and the army of Twin Victims at the end of Water Prison World 2nd time.
As for the rest of the game, I prefer my trusted rusty axe, and the broken pipe before I get the axe.

I got the all weapon mode, so now a days I use the gun most of the time.

The only time I used firearms was to pop a silver cap in the ghost bosses and to kill that army of Victim 7+8's at the end of Water Prison pt 2. Other than that, I loved using the spade and stomping it into the baddies to finish them off. Somehow, that animation makes me feel so satisfied

Anyone think it was strange that Henry wasn't given a shotgun? THAT I would've loved using.

I've played through the game four or five times, and I've never been able to find that spade, not even with the help of a guide.

I think the main reason that I hardly use the firearms in 4 is because of the way that ammunition is handled. It would have been much better to have ammunition of the same type stack. If you want to carry a firearm and have enough ammunition to take down a couple of enemies, you have to fill most of your inventory with the 12-round magazines, which makes carrying the gun impractical.

Oh really? If memory serves me right, it's in the Building World at the end of a weird alley next to the 2nd Sword of Obedience that you find. I have the Brady guide (I wanted the poster inside XD) and they mention it on page 50 if you have that one. A better guide source is GameFAQs.com and I recommend looking @ Conquerer's because his file is the biggest. From my experience, the bigger files usually have a lot more info and details in them than others.

That's another reason why I never used firearms, because the fact that one box of ammo took up several slots and since space was limited, I also saw no sense in that.
