In the firebug section you might want to include that you start out with fire grenades, those things are good .

Me as a firebug using the awesome flamethrower:
Me:They're crowding me *points gun at ground* *starts shooting* *spins in circle* *stops shooting*=All Zombies crowding me burned, and killed.

If I wasnt on vacation I would be level 5 :/

P.S. Even though it says flamethrower, it can be leveled up with any burn damage (Burn Damage on Mac-10, Fire Grenades)

[Staples, that was easy]

sharp shooter all the way i can use the crossbow so effectively xD
without it i suck -.-
