Multiple items have dual purposes. Most tools can be used as weapons in a pinch, and vice versa, however won't be as damaging as the designated weapons. Items vary on how effective they are for each task. Using the wrong tool will decrease the player's Stamina at a faster rate.
For a list of every available ammunition, look at this List of Ammunition. There is a comparison of firearms at the List of firearms page, as well as a comparison of ranged weapons at List of ranged weapons and a comparison of melee weapons at the List of melee weapons page. Something to consider is that all non primitive items have a scaling system where they can be 15% lower or higher than their base stats so this may provide some results that aren't exactly 100% accurate,
