Honestly the only time you should ever need to full auto any of the commando weapons is when you are surrounded, a team mate is in trouble or you need to dispatch a enemy such as a husk or siren immediately.
Single shot every single commando weapons while going for heads and you'll find that all of them are pretty similar for the commando role with very little separating them other than sights and mag sizes.
Myself i take the AK and MKB42 to virtually every HoE game because i never have to deal with Scrakes or Fleshpounds, the 37 rounds for these guns mean you can drop a lot more trash before reloading (most of the time you can drop at least 35 enemies with a single mag). But that's my personal preference. Commando can roll with pretty much any load out it likes (within reason of course) and still get the trash clearing job done.
Of course this does not really apply to lower difficulties. and i normally have a dependable team behind me too.
Anything lower than hard = use whatever you want
I find it hard to die as a medic on normal.
Also, I find it kinda odd that, despite on launch getting all the lovin, the sharpshooter's main arsenal (Bar Pistols) has otherwise gone untouched, there is nothing between the Anti-Material Rifle and the crossbow/M14, it feels like a void where a semi-auto sniper should be, something a little heavier with a bit of a punch, but not ridiculous like the heavy (and almost useless now with the ridiculous ammo nerf) rifle.
The best gun in the game before wave 7 is the lever-action rifle, all other guns take a while to learn how to aim, but as a sharpshooter I always go back to levy.

This. I love going sharpshooter with just a winny and 9mm until wave 5 or so, just so that I can earn enough dosh to buy whatever I want for the class I'll switch to. If you use ammo packs, you will only have to spend a few dozen quids between each wave.

Also best iron sights + best world model for hip firing: it points to the very center of the screen and it's just like having a crosshair. For some reason I have a much harder time firing from the hip with the M14 (I have to use the laser which I still find worse).
IMO the best gun for aiming with as a sharpie is the 9mm, It's so accurate and the ironsights are nice and simple to use.
Xbow has always been my favourite sharp weapon.
I can barely describe the feeling I felt the first time I headshotted a scrake. I was terrified of scrakes, they charged, had seemingly infinite HP, grenades did shit all and they just kept coming.
then one of my sharpshooters in a public game dropped his xbow when he died (I was medic) and I saw a scrake, I did the only thing that seemed right at the time, I dropped a shot into his head.
All those hours of fear and tension whenever a scrake reared it's head, removed in that instant at once. It was beautiful

The crossbow is some crazy shit, same with the Buzzsaw bow, since it pierces.

I find my aiming with double 9mms worse than a single 9mm. I dunno, maybe its because I'd rather not waste more ammo or I score less headshots than by itself.

That's probably because the left pistol doesn't actually shoot down the centre.

I guess you weren't around when sharps literally owned any map without trying. They haven't been upgraded because they're the only class besides the zerk that can deal with any zed on any difficulty with any of their appointed weapons. The last upgrade they got was the m99.
Nothing more need be said.
I always like using the flashlight as a center guide for my 9mm. Especially since the "ironsights" for dual 9mm's suck.

I only play suicidal now, since I'm medic it's not my job to worry about scrakes, if the sharp is good they die instantly, if the sharp is bad then we weren't gonna win anyway.
I mostly focus on killing sirens as fast as possible and tanking the fleshpound that we fucked up. (note: tank means survive it's assault for 3.5 seconds longer than any other team member)

If you're playing sharpie with dual anything, you suck.
Unless you're using them to spam your way to freedom, in which case you still suck.

I was a Lv5 Medic, and the only one in the team.
It was like they didn't want to get their asses saved all the time.

I use dual-9mms as a sharpshooter if I happen to find another, and I'm fairly accurate with them. That's the first thing I sell if I need money of course, but still.
Dual .50s are good for oh fuck moments where you need to empty your gun in a charging scrake's face.
Gold weapon pack is pretty handy actually. The ability to nab one for a late join and not have to go a wave without your own is the greatest thing ever in some tougher maps. I recently started buying another M79 on Demolitions for a cheaper loadout. You can "rapid fire" with the reload cancel and maintain the ability to poop out a powerful weapon in case the support or commando runs dry on ammo.
Still has nothing on the M32 loadout but it's still pretty damn fun. It gets more viable the earlier in the game it is obviously.

I hate that shit.
Especially when a circlejerk of retards and their dumb friends invade an empty public server and votekick anyone else who tries to join.
I'm sick of playing at Normal, but I seriously can't do Hard at all.
I wish there was something between Normal and Hard.

I actually wish there was an option to use lower perk levels while retaining and still leveling your actual levels.
Say, if you were a level 5 medic in a low-level game of say, normal, and wanted to be on even ground for fun's sake, you could choose to be a level 3 medic with all the stats of a level 3 medic while your healing still leveled you from 5 to 6 in the background.
I swear only 1 out of every 5 games I play have people stick together.
My bro got me a $20 steam wallet gift card thing, just bought the gold weapons/community weapons packs.
wasnt gonna get the goldies, then saw how bootiful they were.
I honestly don't use any other golden weapons other than the Golden Grenade Launcher. It just feels appropriate.
Well, the Golden/Regular Combat Shotgun is kinda awful. I don't see where that gun is supposed to fit in at all. The Vlad is more awesome in closed spaces due to the ricochet function, and the shotgun where you can change fire type is far more useful and much, much cheaper.
Like the standard shotgun, you can interrupt the reload to shoot it which is the best characteristic of it (though I'm not a user of it that much becuase you don't need to full auto a shotgun when you can double barrel a hallway with the hunting).
It needs... something? It's far too expensive for what it is.
