Weapon Upgrades
Can only switch between one ammo type or another while playing.

Birdshot
Bound to key 5. You have this type of ammo from the start. Fire 1 projectile at a time.
Only this ammo type can be fired backward with the Alt Fire (Right click)

Buckshot
Bound to key 6. Fire 3 low-spread projectiles at a time.
Good for accuracy.

Slug
Bound to key 7. Fire 1 projectile that pass through all enemies in a straight line at a time.
Usefulness is limited by the random placement of enemies.

Explosive
Bound to key 8. Fire 1 projectile that explode on impact at a time.
Very effective against huddled enemies.
Ammo Upgrades
Multiple upgrades can be used at the same time.

Ammo Capacity
Bound to key Z. Can be upgraded 3 times. Increase magazine size.
Details:
1st time: 8 -> 11
2nd time: 11 -> 13
3rd time: 13 -> 16

Reload Speed
Bound to key X. Can be upgraded 3 times. Increase the number of bullet reloaded.
Details:
1st time: 1 -> 2
2nd time: 2 -> 4
3rd time: 4 -> 8

Rate of Fire
Bound to key C. Can be upgraded 3 times. Increase rate of fire.
Time below is in seconds and rounds to the nearest hundredth.
1st time: 0.75 -> 0.53
2nd time: 0.53 -> 0.37
3rd time: 0.37 -> 0.23
Based on the above result, we can guess that the 1st and 2nd upgrade reduce 0.2 seconds off the rate of fire. 3rd remove only 0.15 seconds dues to the shooting animation has to be completed before next one begins.
It should be note that the above result is the lowest time I can achive, and that it is scarce because the timing between mouse clicks has to be just right for the shooting animation to bypass the "rest" sequence in which the farmer put his left hand on the handgrip before shooting again.

Laser Aim
Bound to key V. Can be upgraded 1 time. Put a laser pointing from the barrel in a straight line.
