Well, your first gun depends on your price range. The steam punk pistol costs $6000, which may seem a lot for classic, but it isn't so much on here. The m4 is also good, but it costs $55000, which is still a lot by my standards. If you have a Facebook, I suggest uploading ten screenshots every two hours, because it gives you a freebie, which is several free items and unlimited ammo and instant revive for two hours. Of course, you can buy these things, but Facebook screenshots are free. For a good melee, there's a nice little shop in southridge (bottom island) that sells a nifty machete for $900, or, if you get a staff member to, I'd be happy to give you one of my six candy canes from last year, free of charge. Also, find a good gang and find some friends. My last tip is to not trade, scamming is legal. Don't even trust friends, because apparently items on a game are more important than friendship.
