Guns are the main weapons used. They consist of rifles, pistols, submachine guns, light machine guns, and shotguns. There are also melee weapons. They all have varying damage, recoil, spread, magazine sizes, and effective ranges.
Guns like the Walther P99, Striker, KSG and Colt M4 have an optical attachment instead (red dot sight and the holographic sight). Guns like the Winchester and the Scorpion have simple iron sights (Patridge sights).
"The WALTHER P99 is a small but effective gun. 9 mm parabellum rounds make it a wonderful conversation starter with any zombie."

Trivia[]
Each weapon can be upgraded four times.
The damage listed for every weapon is relative only to other weapons of the same type. For instance, at maximum level, the Enfield 303 rifle is listed to do 650 damage, while at the maximum level the Uzi submachine gun is listed for 800. Yet, despite numerical differences, the Enfield 303 is capable of doing one shot kills, whereas the Uzi isn't.
Guns have very minimal recoil, however, the bullets will not travel to where the bullets should hit due to spread; an unspecified statistic. This is easier to see with an automatic gun with an optical attachment equipped.
The only melee 'weapon' in the game, other than the chainsaw T-800 and the Brain-Mill, is using Kyle's hands; although, it only happens when a zombie comes from behind and tries to bite Kyle. Kyle must do a tap pattern in time to break the zombie's neck. Failure to do so will result in a successful zombie bite and consequently lost health.
