What are the best weapons to use in Modern Warfare 3 survival mode?

Question

I have started playing MW3 recently and have completed 13 rounds in Resistance map. I have been using the Assault Riffle ACR 6.8. What kind of weapons I should use for survival mode where I can get more bang for my buck?

Answer

When I play survival, I tend to "live off the land" and take weapons off of dead enemy soldiers instead of buying weapons at the shop. In Resistance in particular, it's pretty easy to set up shop in the center house, like I explained here:

What is best sniper position on Resistance in Spec Ops: Survival mode?

Remember that you can also carry two primary weapons in Survival - so if enemies are using AK-47's and ammo for that is plentiful on the ground, you can use that gun alongside another AR that you've purchased or found in an earlier round. Between rounds you can go back and just buy ammo, or pick up upgrades for these weapons if you prefer them.

Having 2 ARs means that if you empty a clip and there's still a lot of guys to shoot, you can switch to your off-hand AR and continue firing faster than you could've reloaded.

I don't tend to like LMGs or SMGs, the LMGs take too long to reload, and the SMGs do pitiful damage against enemies in the later rounds. You might find them useful, depending on your strategy and preferences, however.

Not buying weapons means that you have more cash left over for other things, such as sentry guns, squads of AI helpers, and air support to deal with Juggernauts and other difficult situations.
