Thresh:
Kingpin has a relatively small assortment of weapons, but all are "realistic" and have their own charm. Generally speaking, the weapons in Kingpin are pretty powerful, which makes for quicker kills in deathmatching and in single player as well. Beware though, because each has a relatively slow refire rate - pick your shots carefully or risk getting owned. You'll also need to worry about reloading your weapons, which takes time. The last place you want to be doing this is in the middle of a fight so keep one eye on your ammo levels. Weapon switching is a bit slower than I would have liked but this helps keeps things realistic.

Lead Pipe and Crowbar

The lead pipe and the crowbar are simply, the most ghetto weapons in the game. You start single player with just a lead pipe. The crowbar offers a bit more range and power than the pipe but don't expect to scare anyone with these janky weapons. If you run out of ammo and end up with the pipe in multiplayer, it's akin to wearing a sign around your neck that says "shoot me - please."

Pistol

You start with a pistol in deathmatch (gangbang) and in the Bagman multiplayer games. If you get lucky and nail someone in the head, it can do ok damage, but otherwise, you better run to grab a better weapon. Pistols pack 10 bullets per clip, and the refire rate is pretty slow. To make matters worse, the pistol is pretty inaccurate at medium to long range.

In single player the pistol is not all that bad once you've added modifications like rate of fire improvement, magnum upgrade, and the reload mod. You can even add a silencer which can help you take out baddies without alerting all the other thugs in the area.

Shotgun

The shotgun is quite a step up from the pistol. This is a single barrel model, pump action special. The shotgun can be loaded with up to 8 shells at once. The nice thing is that at short range, one shotgun blast can easily kill an opponent, provided you got all the pellets on him. If you're lucky you can take off an entire limb with a point blank blast. The shotgun loses effectiveness at medium and long ranges though, and also has a fairly crappy refire time. However its power at short range cannot be denied, which makes it one of the better deathmatch tools at your disposal.
