In Resident Evil games I use the handgun for a large portion of the game, and for the rest I use the shotgun! I never get to use all the cool guns. :/ just saving up for the big bad guy who almost always turns out to be a wuss, or that you don't need a big gun to finish him off, and instead have to rely on timing and shoot on certain devices to indirectly kill it! Whoever's finished the games knows what kinds of bosses I'm talking about.
