Though the Blacktail is great you don't get it until the castle. A fully upgraded Red 9 with the stock, a Striker (freebie shotty first though), the standard Rifle and the freebie Broken Butterfly and my go to setup. There's an FAQ on GameFAQS that goes through all the weapons and their upgrades as well as their exclusive unlocks so you can decide what you like best. In the Wii version the TMP was god tier due to no aim wobble and it seamed to get a lot of head shots. Every weapon has a specific application but some you can go without. Tool changing the transparency and color of the aiming laser. It's also quiet effective of staggering enemy's so you can close in for a reaction hit (suplex ahoy). Browse Resident Evil 4 addons to download customizations including maps, skins, sounds. It's great on shielded guys and puts the dogs down quiet easily. I find it's usable in the early castle and island sections but others prefer the Punisher for it's penetration (and it's Exclusive can go through up to 5 targets ohhh errr!). The TMP is a real love it or hate it/Marmite weapon. You don't find it in the game outside of the Merchant as far as I can remember.
