How can I record/view a demo (a gameplay recording)?

To record a gameplay open console and type the command: \record
You can give a particular name to the demo file saved with the command: \record NAME (where “NAME” is the name you have chosen)
To stop recording use: \stoprecord
And to review the demo: \demo NAME — or use the visual interface of Smokin’ Guns (clicking on the book)

At least starting with SG 1.1b4, you can convert a demo to an AVI file. While reviewing the demo, issue the console command \video NAME (where NAME is the name of the AVI file you want to obtain). The AVI will be saved in the directory “videos” close to the “demos” directory.

Mainly as anti-cheat feature, BallerBude records the demos of all players that win a game or reach at least 27 points of score. You can find them in BallerBude‘s stats site.
If you’d like to watch one of BallerBude‘s demos, follow the directions at the bottom of their page.

Update: Another easy way to record video of the game is using the freeware called Fraps, available for download from their site. Really easy in use software, compatible with all recent Windows versions (from XP to 7).

How can I get money?

In order to get cash and be able to buy your equipment, you can collect money that you occasionally find in the map.

You can also get money killing other players (the amount of money you get depends on the rank of the player you killed).
