If your going to do an operation like robbing a store then use the appropriate weapon. and always go in groups. make friends with guild mates that are on when you are on.

Melee Weapons

Bat- is for basically hazing a store or another gang. or for a gang fight remember a gun may shoot but a bat breaks bones.

Knife-mugging or threatening, also for gang fights. or for the prison yard or street assassinations.

Crow Bar- jacking cars or for fights. bashes and stabs.

Pipe- looks scary and it does it's job. beating the crap out of some poor sucker.

Axe- for hacking and for looks.

Sword- if you have one like I do(Captin jie shu) then use it. but not often.

Spear- sort of the out of the ordinary weapon but still if you got it you got it.

Fire Arms

Hand Guns- good for the simple robbery or for a fire fight. never under estimate any gun.(revolvers are the pimp and smooth talkers gun)

Shot Guns- used by mobsters for century's even in Sicily. the look cool and sleek. and would be your best bet for a RP fight.

Machine Pistol- good for any gangster to hold. and for an outright show down might be the difference between getting mowed down and you mowing them down.

Machine Gun- like the machine pistol good for any situation.

Flame Thrower- good for looks but i wouldn't recommend it.

Rifle- pure man and women power put together.

Miscellaneous

Pitch-fork gun- just fun to have.

Grenade- explosives in a tight compact ball.

Fist- even these are weapons. actually your best weapons.
