Tier 1 weapon?

(Pump Shotgun / Chrome Shotgun / Silenced Submachine Gun / Submachine Gun)

Tier 2 weapon?

(Combat Rifle (SCAR) / AK-47 / M-16 Assault Rifle / Combat Shotgun (new autoshottie) / Tactical Shotgun (old autoshottie) / Sniper Rifle / Hunting rifle)

Sidearm?
(Duel Pistols/ Normal Pistol / Magnum / melee (you can state which if you want) )

Grenade?
(Molotov cocktail / Pipe bomb / Bile bomb)



Personally:

Tier 1: Chrome Shotgun 8)

Tier 2: Combat Shotgun (combat rifle is a close second though)

Sidearm: Duel Pistols (I'll go for a melee if I decide to roll with an non-shotgun weapon though)

Granade: Pipe Bomb

I wouldn't be too reliant of that site. It says "Normal Melee Weapons do 400 damage, and instantly kill common infected. The axe and katana are capable of decapitating a witch. It takes ten melee hits to kill a tank."
I was doing some testing earlier today on expert vs the tank. I turned god on and killed my allies. It took 14 hits with machete and batoon to kill a tank, it took 12 hits with guitar. Also, if you dont hit a common right on with melee weapons it will knock them back instead of killing them. All melee weapons have different styles.

I hate all tier 2 weapons because people will go get their team killed trying to get one
Mainly on Expert.

Silenced Sub
AK-47

Of course, the big event toward the end of second stage Parish lends itself to rifles more than the shotguns in my opinion, other stages might change my mind! :D

Tier 1: Chrome Shotgun
Tier 2: Military Sniper
Secondary: Dual pistols or Axe, depending on difficulty (As fun and iconic as my using the Fire Axe is, melee on Expert is an easy way to get yourself incapped)
Grenade: Boomer Bile

I always liked the Hunting Rifle in L4D, and the Military Rifle so much nicer. The bigger clip is a big difference, though it does tend to chew through ammo quicker that way.

Tier 2: M-16 Assault Rifle
Secondary: Magnum
Grenade: Pipe Bomb

I haven't had a chance to use all of the weapons yet, either that or I haven't noticed a difference. Either way I'm a fan of the machine guns on both tiers except for the AK-47.

I just love the rifles for their penetration ability. They've got a small clip but one bullet can tear through several Infected. I don't know if this ability is weakened to account for the larger clip of the Military Rifle, but I hope not.

You can actually you melee effectively if you use a rifle as your primary.

What you do is you use your rifle to pick off most of the infected and when there are only a few you melee them before they can hit you. Easy way to save ammo and kill infected groups quickly. It should be easier with the Kantana/Axe since they have a wider swing to kill more infected.

Also I'm starting to like the Magnum/Deagle. It's a very good secondary to a shotgun.
