If you are a bit like me and prefer playing Dead Space with just one or two weapons, getting 30 kills with each one can seem like a bit of a grind. There are two easy ways to speed up the process though:
- A Swarm is found at various points throughout the game and they can also be triggered by shooting a Pregnant and splitting open its pouch, releasing Swarms. Swarms are clusters of (well, I don’t know) but they try to leech onto your back. Each one is counted as a kill and there tends to be 7-10 at a time. The Force Gun kills them in one and is very efficient at it.
- Tentacles are the Necromorphs that are attached to the wall and spew out an immobile tentacle that will shoot at you. Keep your distance and kill each tentacle it spews out with your desired weapon. It will continue to spew them out until you kill the one on the wall. Stock up with ammo and kill each one until the achievement unlocks, swap weapon or continue on with your playthrough. Tentacles are not good for kills with the Force Gun, as one shot will likely destroy the one on the wall. To avoid this being too much of a grind, carry a couple of weapons with you and then swap them out at the store and move onto the next occasion you run into one.
Please be aware that reloading you save will void your kills. You must continue through the game. Credit to DE4N MUFC for advising.
Good luck!

It has to be said that reloading a save does not help towards weapon kills, it has to be done as you progress on the same save file.

Not sure that's true De4n, I reloaded until I got the stomp achievement.

The Pulse Rifle will be one of your trustiest allies in both your first playthrough and your impossible playthrough, so you’ll likely unlock this automatically.
However, like all of the “Kill 30 enemies” achievements, this can be farmed pretty easily once you reach a Guardian enemy. These wall-mounted foes spit out smaller enemies that can be killed quickly and easily, so you can keep the Guardian alive and use your chosen weapon to kill the little tentacle blobs that it spawns.
A final option is to start a New Game+ on Story difficulty, starting from the beginning with all weapons available to you, and easily killing any enemies you come across with your weapon of choice to mop up the achievements.

Aim for the legs and arms. If you get surrounded by enemies press and hold 
and then hold 
which means you will get on one knee and you will hold the gun up shooting all around you. It's the definition of awesome.

The Pulse Rifle is a fast firing weapon. There's no real trick to killing with it, just shoot at Necromorphs until they die.
DLC weapons do not positively or negatively affect weapon kill trophies in any way.

The pulse rifle fires in bursts of two rounds and the rate of fire itself (as a result of its lethality) is quite high, but the problem is that the opponents’ limbs are often too thin to accurately aim and use all three points of damage, so this weapon is only good for large objects , to kill which you need to shoot for a long time (for example, tentacles, brutes, demolitions). Therefore, to get a trophy for this weapon, I usually shot off one limb, weakened the other, and finished it off with a pulse rifle, because to count a kill with a certain weapon, the weapon with which the last blow was struck is counted.

Yes, this weapon is designed to pop bubbles. I used to use contact beam for this purpose, but now I found an alternative.
