I found an interesting page on gun types here.

So many guns its hard to know which ones to use.

I am really enjoying it though and glad we managed to sort out our co-op characters last night after we jumped ahead a bit.

So i think we need to complete all the missions we have at the moment before we pick anymore up clear the mission log a bit what do you think?

Yes that is definitely a plan as we already have loads of missions to do!

Here is another useful link regarding guns (and equipment in general) that explains what some of the obscure affixes on stuff means:

Just thought I would write up a quick summary of the gun types in Borderlands 2, based on my experiences with the game:

Bandit
Works well with: Anything
+ Large clip size.
- Long reload times.

Dahl
Works well with: Pistols, shotguns, smgs, assault rifles
+ Burst-fire while zoomed.
+ Low recoil.
- Burst-fire while zoomed does not work too well with sniper rifles.

Hyperion
Works well with: Anything (I generally avoid these)
+ Stability increases with each shot fired.
- Terrible stability until a few shots are fired.

Jacobs
Works well with: Pistols, shotguns and sniper rifles
+ Very accurate.
+ Fire as fast as you can pull the trigger.
+ High base weapon damage.
- Lot's of recoil.
- The semi-auto nature of these weapons means assault rifles/smgs are not fully automatic.
- Generally have smaller magazine size than that of other manufactures.

Maliwan
Works well with: Anything
+ Come with elemental damage as standard.
- Base weapon damage is usually lower than that of other manufactures.

Tediore
Works well with: Anything, but the use for sniper rifles is limited
+ Throw the weapon when reloaded - which explodes. The more ammo left in the magazine, the more damage it does.
+ Quick 'reload' speed.
- Lose all remaining ammo in clip when reloaded.
- Danger of damaging self with the explosion.

Torgue
Works well with: Anything
+ Deals high explosive (splash) damage.
- Bullets / projectiles move quite slow.
- Can never spawn with additional elemental damage effects.

Vladof
Works well with: Anything, but rocket launchers and sniper rifles work especially well
+ High fire rates.
+ All Vladof RPG's spawn with 'Use less ammo per shot'.
- Assault rifles need time to 'spin up', since they are basically mini-guns.
