Letting off a shot in a room full of enemies, whether it be humans or the infected led to nothing but death and misery. With humans, the second you alert them of your presence, they will use tactics to make sure you're their next kill: I've had guys flank me, guys that distracted me while the others crept up on me, I had guys flush me out of cover... they're smart. And as for the infected... well, I almost NEVER used a gun against them, it's basically a death sentence, what with Runners relentlessly chasing you and grabbing you and Clickers using echolocation to stalk your movements and those guys are an instant kill. It's honestly more of a stealth-based game, with the option to use guns if you absolutely must.
