I've been playing for about a day
and I was wondering if I should stick with my bomb or use a pistol instead.
Like is the payoff you get from a bomb even worth it?
But then having a pistol and a sword seems kinda redundant to me.
Please post your thoughts and why.

I'm not at all sure about
I'm not at all sure about tooting my own horn, but I wrote a beginner's guide to weapons on my blog; at some point I'll do one about armor and shields, but I have to work out some more details myself.
Caveat emptor; it's my blog and, well, it's not an official SK blog/site, and um, but I thought it would be helpful, and copy-paste seems wrong here.
BTW, if this is wrong to post on the forums, I will remove the link. Apologies beforehand.

Thanks for the advice :) , I think ill just stick with pistols for now until I can get the really big bombs.
It's all a matter of personal choice, really. There are quite a few discussions already which investigate the pros and cons of using swords/pistols/bombs, perhaps have a read of them and see what you think. Also check the wiki for more info on what effect the various types of weapons have.
I tend to run with sword/bomb (atm Cold Iron Carver/Freezing Atomizer); it's a decent soloing combo and I frequently run with friends, so the 360 knockback on CIC and the freezing effect on the Atomizer comes in handy for the group situations. Personally I don't enjoy guns as much, but then I haven't really given it much of a go. They are useful for hitting those pesky gate switches - I'm always having to grab the throwable jars =P
At such an early point in the game, I'd suggest choosing a combo you think you'll enjoy instinctively, but don't feel limited to that in any way. You can always change it up and acquire new gear as you go, and experiment with different weapons until you find a good fit.
And on a personal note, I'm having an absolute blast with bombs. Pun intended.
