YEAH WELL, I can go into detail with my weapon loadout too. I love RE4 too much.
I use the Red9 for all my handgun needs because of its firepower and stability. Takes up more space, but enemies drop very quickly. That stock can make headshots a matter of skill, not luck.
For a first playthrough, I use the Pump-Action Shotgun until the Striker is available, because it's the smallest shotgun in the menu and holds up to 100 shells, conserving space. Repeat playthroughs I use the Riot Gun because it's amazing.
While I experimented a bit with the Bolt Action Rifle in my GameCube days, I tend to largely ignore it. Once that Semi-Auto is available, I use that one because its Exclusive upgrade is insanely helpful.
I use the T.M.P. for certain situations like the Mendez bossfight or
Ashley's Class 3 Motor License Adventure through the tunnel.
And while it may give some people a heartattack, I don't use the Broken Butterfly. I sell it for easy money, even on a first playthrough. It's more money to upgrade my other weapons with to make them better.
TL;DR - I've played RE4 too much to be healthy.
there's no love for the minethrower?
I've killed myself too much with that P.O.S., plus its ammo drops are very rare, even more so than Magnum ammo.
