molotov cocktails.

Go over to the Toreno Ranch and get loads of ammo for the mini-gun, and use
that. Switch to a weapon you can run with between waves to top up on health
and armour if you need to.

I agree with the other poster, Mololtov cocktails are nice, as are
grenades. I like to to use about 2-3 grenades on the first few attackers
on the 2nd/3rd wave, the ones that don't get killed are knocked down.
Then I cycle back to the M4 and take out the rest. Might be a good idea
to max out the skill on that gun to increase the range. But if they are
approaching from front and behind the grenade tactic might not work as
all.

I also try to get them all approaching from a single direction in one
line. The grenades work great here. Plus if you have the M4 up to a
reasonable skill level and are a distance away, you will be able to lock
on and pick several of them off before they start shooting. Usually you
will still take a few hits by reloading.

I was lucky enough to do the tag mission so I got all the cocktails
for free back at my crib so I stocked up on these and then flew on
over to my airport and grabbed the jetpack...

Started a gang war and flew to the top of a building and threw
cocktails over the edge and let em all burn but soon the jetpack
disappeared so for the rest of the missions... I would start a gang
war and then run down a one way alley and crotched down and picked
them off one by one as they entered the alley...

Only thing that blew was I got 100% of territories and then started
the 'Grove 4 Life' mission and was then stuck with 92.78% of
territories... Have to go claim the rest again...

If you see a group of 3 that are a distance away... Run up to them and
take a few shots at them but don't kill em and run back... They should
chase you and run to the destinated area and then kill em... This
should start a gang war...
