INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The side arm in your inventory, pistols can be equipped with a second pistol to make dual pistols. Pistols have infinite ammo and have 15 bullets per magazine; when you dual wield pistols, you have 30 bullets per magazine. You will use pistols if you are knocked down by the zombie hordes.  Always pick up the second to dual-wield when you find it. More bullets to fire. Crouching increases accuracy, to the point where the pistol becomes effective at considerable range. Using the pistol where possible allows you to save your precious primary ammunition for when you really need it. There are 2 types of shotguns. The first is a basic pump action 12-gauge. It holds 8 shells total, and has to be pumped after every shot. The second shotgun is a 20-gauge Riot Shotgun with 10 shell loading capacity. It automatically loads another shell into the chamber after firing, and is very quickly ready to fire again. Excellent for close range combat, especially in swarm situations. The Uzi has a 50 clip load with a fast rate of fire, it is good for swarm situations but you can easily be knocked down when out of ammo. The M16 is faster and stronger and should always be found if you prefer automatics. Dully noted though, both these weapons consume ammo very quickly, so make your shots count. These are similar to the Heavy's minigun in TF2, the minigun can take down swarms of zombies in rapid succession when used. Keep your firing rate broken up though; continuous fire will overheat the turret, and then you are open for attack and are likely to be killed quickly by the Horde. This weapon, with 15 slot clip, can kill normal zombies in one hit to the head. The rifle has a zoom-in feature and preforms superbly in long range combat. With this weapon you also have the ability to shoot through more than one zombie in a successive line.  For example, if there are three zombies standing in a row, one shot with the rifle will kill them all. Also, you are able to shoot and kill zombies through doors, some walls and other items that are blocking the zombies from direct fire from another weapon. Its downfall is close range combat- this weapon does not perform as well in close range combat as some others do and during close combat with infected the scope feature of the rifle is rendered useless. The first is the Molotov cocktail. This grenade can leave a wall of fire that will kill zombies surprisingly fast, but not immediately (flaming infected may still run at you until death), excellent in swarm situations. Aim well though; if you throw it too close to home, you and teammates around you will be incapacitated or damaged heavily. Apart from the mini-gun, the pipe bomb is probably the best device in the game. Once thrown, almost every infected in ear shot will swarm the pipe bomb. In any given scenario, pipe bombs can be used to clear an area completely of infected before entering it. But be aware; when engaging a witch, do not throw it directly at her. This will result in simply pissing the witch off and then she will charge toward you and away from the bomb about to detonate, thus having no effect at all, except for a wasted pipe bomb and a witch beating you. All items and weapons can be used to bash the infected. Bashing knocks infected back, giving you time to aim or reload, or buying you time if swamped by the Horde.  It can be used to knock a hunter off a pinned ally chest, and bashing an ally who is caught by a smoker's tongue will free them. It can also be used to get the attention of a Tank attacking a friend. Melee attack should also be used to push a Boomer back when it is attacking so that the survivors are not slimed when the Boomer is killed.

SUMMARY: Master the Pistol. Master Shotguns. Master Automatics. Master the Mounted Turrets. Master the Rifle. Master Grenades. Use Pipe Bombs. Use Melee Attacks.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Spritz water onto the section you'd like to start with.  The smaller the sections, the more volume your hairdo will have. Keep in mind that this method works best for long, straighter hair that lacks natural volume. Starting from the tip, loop your hair around the straw multiple times until you reach your roots. Keep these loops loose and irregular. However, don't wrap them so loosely that the curl comes undone. Use a bobby pin to hold the straw and your hair in place along your scalp. Spritz a little hairspray onto each wrapped strand. This will help hold your curls in place once you've finished. Unlike ringlet curls, you don't have to make every strand the same size or wrap them the same way. Because of the chaotic, messy nature of this look, it's ok if you miss a few strands and stray hairs. Wait about two to three hours first to allow the curls to set. Unclip the bobby pins and then unravel the strands by hand. Use your fingers to gently fluff out your coils into "big hair." Add a small amount of hair oil to soften your hair to make it easier to work with. Keep in mind that this method intentionally adds tangles and frizz to create volume. Combing it will be difficult. Use your fingers to arrange your hair for any final styling.

SUMMARY:
Select and moisten the first strand of hair. Wrap your hair onto the first straw. Secure the curl. Repeat the process until you've wrapped all or most of your hair. Remove the straws while your hair is still slightly damp.
