Because this weapon does very little damage at the outset (and consumes three nodes just to upgrade to the second damage level), I had a harder time with this achievement than I would have expected. I found that freezing the enemy with Stasis made aiming for the limbs much easier, but it still took way too long to sever any limbs I was aiming at.
What I eventually resorted to was freezing an enemy with Stasis, picking off the legs with the Plasma Cutter (the default pistol) and then quickly switching over to the Pulse Rifle. That way, I only had to finish them off with a few shots of the Pulse Rifle to any remaining limbs.
Note that it might take a few accidental Plasma Cutter kills before you figure out how many shots a certain enemy can take before dying, and some of the stronger/darker enemies might require you to sever the legs AND an arm before finishing them off with the Rifle. You'll get the hang of it before too long! |

i initially did my first playthrough with just the plasma cutter for
The One Gun achievement in Dead Space worth 67 pointsBeat the game using only the Plasma Cutter
and as such used a seperate save slot for the begining of each level for when i went for the weapons achievemnets. if you did too or have a save near level 12 then try the following...........
start level 12 - the building you go into on the left has a store and bench. sell everything you own except your med packs, pulse rifle and pulse rifle ammo. buy more ammo for the pulse rifle and nodes to upgrade it using the bench. now start working your way through the level using the pulse rifle and eventually you will come across 2 tentacle-wall-things. by this point you will probably have about 20-25 kills anyway so just kill a few of the constantly spawning bastards and 'pop' goes the achievment!
you can use this method for all the other weapon 'cheeves. it, for me, seemed like the least hassle per enemy as there are loads of them in a short period of time! |

I found a dead easy way to get this and most of the other weapon achievements
At the start of chapter 5 go to the store and buy the gun which you want the achievement for and lots of ammo.
Right at the start of the mission you will encounter an enemy which spits little enemys out of its tummy, keep an killing these little enemies to get the achievement. |
