Fire! Once you have selected your weapon, use the right trigger, "RT," to fire at your enemies. You can aim with the right joystick, or "R." When you're out of ammunition, you can reload your weapon with the right block button, "RB."

Use two guns at once. Certain guns, such as the handgun and the mauler, can be dual-wielded. Use the left block button, "LB," to pick up a dual-wield enabled gun and the left trigger, "LT," to fire that new gun. While you hold two guns, you will be unable to throw grenades. Drop your left-handed gun by cycling to a rifle or other single-wield weapon, or by picking up a new single-wield weapon from the ground.

Use your gun without ammo. Using the red "B" button, you can swing your gun as a melee weapon. While this will require you to fight at a close range, you can kill your enemies in this fashion if you sneak up on them from behind.
