You should plan what weapons your characters will use.
First of all, so that you know what Attributes, Skills and Perks you want to develop, and secondly, because of the need to use a variety of ammunition.
The amount of available ammunition in the game is limited. The more powerful the weapon, the more difficult ammunition to get. So, when choosing the weapons you use, out of their range and the amount of damage they deal, keep in mind the amount of ammunition available.
It is worth considering weapons that do not require ammunition and the even distribution of weapon types between members of your team.

Submachine Gun
If you've got a clear shot (like you're shooting some punk in the back) an SMG is devastating. They're not so great against enemies in cover or heavy armor, so you've gotta be mobile and pick your targets. But when you do - damn!
Skill: Automatic Weapons
Recommended Attributes: Coordination, Awareness & Speed.
Damage: High
Range: Low
Accuracy: High
Armor Penetration: Low

Semi Auto Pistol, Revolver
Pistols are accurate and quick, and deal solid damage to unarmored enemies, but have a hard time penetrating armor. On the plus side, if you want to quickly build your Strike Meter, they're a terrific choice!
Skill: Small Arms
Recommended Attributes: Coordination, Luck & Awareness.
Damage: Average
Range: Average
Accuracy: High
Armor Penetration: Low

Pump Shotgun
You won't do a lot of damage to single enemies with a shotty, but if you wanna hurt two or three at once, they're the way to go. Everyone in front of you will catch some lead. They're also great for blowing away enemy cover.
Skill: Small Arms
Recommended Attributes: Coordination, Luck & Awareness.
Damage: High
Range: Low
Accuracy: Average
Armor Penetration: Low

Sniper Rifle
Sniper rifles are too slow and too heavy to fire on the move, but they have fantastic range, high armor penetration, and do a ton of damage. So find a nice, quiet spot, sit yourself down, and get to sniping.
Skill: Sniper Rifles
Recommended Attributes: Intelligence, Awareness & Luck.
Damage: High
Range: High
Accuracy: High
Armor Penetration: High
