In case you couldn't tell from the title, this post will be dripping with a little thing I like to call sarcasm. I find when discussing things as immaterial as the guns of an upcoming FPS that sarcasm is the best approach. So let's all take a look at the revolutionary weaponry that is going to be found in Section 8, the new FPS coming to us from TimeGate.
The guns shoot bullets and some are for close range while others are for longer range. The point of using the guns is to kill people in the game. When you use a gun you pull the trigger and a bullet comes out and kills someone the gun is pointed at. The guns in Section 8 are the pistol, the assault rifle, the machine gun, the shotgun, the missile launcher and the sniper rifle. Each has its own ups and downs. Of course each faction in the game will have different versions of each gun. Can you feel the originality oozing from the weapon choices? Maybe if you look at the pictures you'll see it.
It's a good thing the game looks to change things up in other ways or else we might go into a coma after being put asleep by the snooze inducing weapon selection. Of course, what FPS out there has really tried to shake up things in the gun department for real? At least SouthPeak, who is publishing, and TimeGate are just being blatant about it.

I feel very enlighted by the gun matter brought by this article; See here in Kaneda we still use bows and machetes.
Now that's what you call riding shotgun! F_F *drums*
Haha, very true, the shotgun looks more like a bike than a gun.
Except for the shotgun, it looks like a nice futuristic gas pump.
I did just wake up about an hour ago though.
You crazy Matt.
Genius, pure genius.
I'm crazy I tells ya
thats because its not hightech and full of HOLY SHIT neon shiney things
Also, the pistols do look pretty legit, even if the shotguns look like ass.
You have the knife.
You have the pistol.
You have the shotgun.
You have the submachine gun.
You have teh assault rifle.
You have the battle rifle.
You have the sniper rifle.
You have the grenade launcher.
You have the rocket launcher.
You have the flamethrower.
And if you really want to fuck around, you have the railgun.
So... meh.
