Chances are I won't like you, therefore do us both a favour and take what I say as infallible truth before we descend into a random internet flame war.

Tactics

 * Use Lincoln's Repeater outside of VATS for extreme range headshots. Go into VATS at medium range, a high AP count (145) means 5 shots is enough to fell most in game enemies; make sure you equip Lag-Bolt's Combat armor whenever you go into VATS.
 * If you get bored using guns, switch to the Chinese Stealth Suit and either use the Shishkebab, Deathclaw Gauntlet or absolutely nothing to pummel any enemy in the game without them ever being alerted to your presence, even when they bump into you. However if the opposite happens (you bump into them) they will immediately see you so it's best to switch to The Terrible Shotgun if that happens or go into VATS for Paralyzing Palm.
 * Speaking of The Terrible Shotgun, this gun is perhaps the most powerful and useful weapon in your arsenal. Scared of Reavers, Overlords or Behemoths? Don't be. A fully repaired sneak attack out-of-VATS Terrible Shotty at 100 small guns with Better Criticals to the head will OHKO ANY ENEMY IN THE GAME on normal mode, just make sure you're firing at point-blank range. Talk about overpowered...
 * The Dart Gun is just there for flavour. It's kinda funny watching Super Mutants dieing in there tracks as if from an aneurysm. Oh and it works best on crippling fast moving foes such as Albino Radscorpions and Deathclaws (as if they ever had a chance anyway). Did I mention it's silenced too?
 * Make sure to carry plenty of spare hunting rifles/combat shotties for repair because your guns won't last forever. That's why the Xuanlong Assault Rifle is in there due to its robustness, durability and ease of finding Chinese Assault Rifles for repair. It also gets a tremendous damage boost (bugged) from the Ghoul Ecology and Superior Defender perks.
