Here a list of infos about all the weapons in the game, taken directly from the in-game manual:
(tips maden by me)


Shotgun

Primary:

Type: Cluster of bullets over a wide spread
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: Low
Ammo: Infinity

Secondary:

Type: Cluster of bullets focused in the center
Refire Rate: Slow
Damage Per Bullet: Low
Ammo: Infinity

Tips: Don't underestimate this weapon. Besides it being the initial weapon, in the right hands it can be a powerful choice. Use the primary fire to take out targets at close quarters, aim for the body to maximize the damage. Use the secondary fire for take out enemies at a medium quarter.


Crylink

Primary:

Type: Cluster of bouncing energy cells over a wide spread
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Secondary:

Type: Cluster of bouncing energy cells over a even wider spread
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Tips: Not the best choice for a direct confront, the Crylink is very useful to take out enemies from a corner, aim for the wall and let it bounce directly in to the enemy (also avoiding direct damage from the enemy weapon). The secondary fire is best used in open spaces (to increase the chance of hit) and in group of enemies. Crylink is also a good weapon to give supression fire.


Electro

Primary:

Type: Slow projectile of explosive energy cell
Refire Rate: Low
Damage Per Bullet: High
Ammo: High Cell Cost

Secondary:

Type: Ball of bouncing energy that sticks to targets
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Tips: A powerful weapon for almost every situation. Use the primary fire to take out enemies in direct combat. Use the secondary fire as a grenade laucher, throwing bullets in corners and hallways to maximize the damage.


Nex

Primary:

Type: Instant rail shot of cell energy
Refire Rate: Very Low
Damage Per Bullet: Very High
Ammo: Very High Cell Cost

Secondary:

Type: Scope

Tips: Classic Sniper Rifle, aim for the head to one-shot kills. In a fast paced game like Nexuiz, a successful sniper won't stand idle. Basic tatic is to find a high spot, for every enemy you take down you change your sniper place. For accurate players this weapon also servers to engage enemies in medium range combat.


ClanCutter

Primary:

Type: Fast bullets of cell energy
Refire Rate: Very Fast
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Secondary:

Type: Cluster of cell energy bullets
Refire Rate: Slow
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Tips: That's a very fast and accurate weapon. Use it for any combat range. For medium/long range use the primary fire (don't hesitate to use this weapon to take down sniper enemies). In close quartes, use the secondary fire as it concentrate a burst of energy in a single shot, and from close to enemy you have less chance to miss it.


Hagar

Primary:

Type: Fast Rockets
Refire Rate: Fast
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Secondary:

Type: Fast rockets that bounces
Refire Rate: Fast
Damage Per Bullet: Medium
Ammo: Medium Cell Cost

Tips: A good tactic with this weapon is to aim for the ground next to the enemy instead of aiming in the enemy itself, this way in inflict a good amount of damage and also maximazes the chance of hit. Secondary fire is very useful in hallways and corners. Watch out for friendly fire and self inflicted damage when using this weapon.

Mortar

Primary:

Type: Arc Firing Rocket (grenade launcher)
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: High
Ammo: High munitions cost

Secondary:

Type: Delayed arc firing rockets that bounces
Refire Rate: Medium
Damage Per Bullet: High
Ammo: High munitions cost

Tips: One of the favorites for almost any player, mortars are letal in skilled hands. From medium range, aim for the ground instead of the enemy itself. Try to calculate the trajectory of both the rocket and the enemy, aiming ahead of the enemies. Use secondary fire to take out enemies in the corner or in covers. Watch out for friendly fire and self inflicted damage when using this weapon.


Rocket Launcher

Primary:

Type: Remote controlled Rocket
Refire Rate: Slow
Damage Per Bullet: Very High
Ammo: Very High munitions cost

Secondary:

Type: Detonate rockets

Tips: The king of all weapons, the rocket laucher reigns supreme in the arena. Timing is the key word for this weapon. Like with the Mortars, try to aim ahead of the enemy. Aim both for the ground or the enemy itself, if the rocket misses the enemy use the secondary fire to detonate it in the air and inflict some damage to enemies. Beware to not take yourself or team members within the explosion radius.


Ravager

Primary:

Type: Low accuracy machine gun
Refire Rate: Very Fast
Damage Per Bullet: Low
Ammo: Low munitions cost

Secondary:

Type: Acurrate fire
Refire Rate: Slow
Damage Per Bullet: Low
Ammo: Low munitions cost

Tips: Basic machine gun, can make some damage if used correctly. Do not engage directly the enemy with this weapon cause it lack enough punch to confront other weapons like the Shotgun and Electro. Like the Hagar and the ClanCutter, this weapon can be a smart choice to inaccurate players (due to its high firing cadence).

I find when using the crylink that it is very effective to shoot the ground in front of the enemy and let the bullets ricochet into them. I think that weapon is becoming one of my favorites.

Whiskey, just pretend you're playing Mario Kart when using the rockets. Steer them around corners, crash them into walls, and you can even do figure eights if you wish.
