Weapon strategy:
For most of the run the weapon choices are quite obvious, only segment 1 is interesting because getting the right weapons can speed up some of the missions.
The missions in portland that need a weapon, or are faster completed by using a weapon are:
Farewell Chunky Lee Chong: shooting him without walking towards his area to skip a cutscene.
Taking Out The Laundry: destroying all 3 vans fast requires firepower or explosives.
The Pick-Up: kill all 5 Triad members
Triads And Tribulations: kill all 3 Triad warlords.
In my first run i would run over a Leone member to get a pistol to shoot Chunky Lee Chong.
Get into a police car to get shotgun ammo to kill the Triads in 'The Pick-Up'.
Get the grenades at 8balls place during 'Taking Out The Laundry' to eliminate the 3 vans, and later use the left over grenades to take out the 3 warlords.
In the rerun i found out that the uzi can already be bought DURING 'Taking Out
The Laundry', so that i wouldnt need to drive to 8ball and back.
I had to find a new way to do 'Triads And Tribulations' though, since i didnt have any grenades.

The only weapon that could be picked up on the map and would be even faster for that mission was the AK47 which i decided to get when going back to Joey after 'Mike Lips Last Lunch'.
The other benefit of the AK was that it would speed up killing Chunky Lee Chong because i didnt need to get a pistol and didnt need to get as close to him.

All of this has saved quite a bit of time and among other things, allowed me to leave Portland in the 12th hour.
