From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
Note that all of Axl's weapons can rapid-fire and be aimed in any of eight directions; however, he can't move while firing. None of his weapons use any weapon energy, only his transformations do.

[edit] Axl Bullet
Axl's default weapon, which is available from the start of the game. Every eighth shot or so is a Guard Break.
[edit] Copy Shot
Press the Special Weapon button while Axl Bullet is equipped to fire the Copy Shot. Destroy a copyable enemy with it and he'll leave behind a DNA Core. Grab the DNA Core to enable the A-Trans weapon.
[edit] A-Trans
Enabled when you pick up a DNA Core from a defeated enemy. With this equipped, press the Fire button to transform into the enemy you got the Core from. Press the Character Change button to change back. Axl burns weapon energy while transformed.
