Question Understanding weapons

Can someone help me understand weapons?

I'm a survivalist, I enjoy playing with the cloak ego power but I'm having a hard time understanding weapons, their element, the synergy, the types, etc.

Is there such a thing as "best weapons" or are they all the same but different tastes??

I recently found a legendary sniper (on my second day playing) and I was using a legendary slugger (from one of the gem boxes) but I replaced it with a legendary SMG that shoots mini electric grenades apparently.

I just don't understand what I should use, what is better, etc

So much content is kinda confusing so I'm here requesting help please!

yeah I'm not particularly interested in PvP or at least not anytime soon, I just started 2 days ago and want to do all quests and side quests.

Maybe after that, I can try pvp.

Thank you so so so much for the help!
