What is the best starting weapon

[Jazz Master]

I've been wondering what is the best weapon to start with in this game because I usually die after spawning.

Honestly, it depends on whether it's team shootout or regular shootout, as well as what you're most comfortable with.

For example, in a regular shootout, I go with the Colt Navy because it's reliable, and it's fun to dual wield. But in team shootout, I go with Mare's Leg as my starting weapon because I know how to aim it.

Just take the time to learn the guns and you'll get a feel as to which is the best for you.

Schofield Revolver.

It can hold your hand through rough beginning.

Sawn-off shotgun or whatever. The only thing that can cosistently hit. Too weak to kill in 2 hits, but everything else is subject to random accuracy, random damage, stupid reload times..
BAd game. Really bad.

Yeah I agree too , if you are like REALLY new then go with the schofield revolver , otherwise go with the SHARPS (if you're MLG ;))

Dude, Sharps is not a starting weapon, you know?

For team shootout, pick schoffield definitely.
For regular shootout, navy is practically the best (derringers technically), but if you're new, it might be much better to go for the sawed-off or even axe.

when i was new i used a axe and dominated everyone on shootout

Top three weapons for starters (imo): Schofield, Mares Leg, and Sawed off. Sawed off being the best despite only 2 shots but the dual weild of the sawed off is killer.

Rifles: Carbine (obviously)
Revolvers: Whatever they feel most comfortable with. They all have their ups and downs.

Avoid using sawedoff as a beginner, you'll form some pretty bad habits and will probably get too addicted to it.

My progression was schofield-deringers-navy. (although I still use the deringers sometimes)
If you're starting out the schofield, carbine and mare's leg are all good options. Also try to open chests often if you're just concerned about survivability because they will give you good stuff (let's be honest, the coachgun is basically a get out of jail free card).

Well, if it's survivability they're worried about they will probably find themselves switching away from the Sawedoff in no time anyway, since it perfectly complements that "~1 frag per life followed by a quick death" model.

Not necessary. Sawed-off requires multiple weapons and such to really be a good starting weapon. I love to quickly run it with the sawed-off, picking off one or two people already on low health and quickly switching to a big gun, using it for general fighting.

I especially love using the sawed-off along with the coach gun. Ye'h, both have only two bullets but both reload them pretty quickly, and if you're smart. You'll either dodge attacks like a TF2-scout or take cover when reloading.

Anyways, my favorite starting weapon is the mare's leg. A lot of times, I usually only just use it due to how I play. Rarely need to bother collecting better weapons. I might get the coach gun though for that extra fire power.

[Sneaky Beaky]

Schofield is the easiest to use

axe

Not exactly.
