Weapon of Choice

[Gero50]

I was just wondering what peoples' favorite weapons are. I know it sounds kinda scarry thinking about. Though sometimes it is very important that you have a weapon depending where you are or what you're doing. So what weapon would you want if you could have it.

I would want, a semi-automatic machine gun or a fully automatic.

[_Freddie_]

Well ever since playing DW6 I've always wanted Lu Bu weapon, I don't even know what you'd call it or how to use it, but it's the scariest blade you'll ever see.

[SigmaSD]

I would probably settle with a sniper or a shotgun. There is nothing more satisfying than taking out your opponents with one shot.

If it's hand to hand combat, then a trident would suffice. You never really see those being used often.

[il Pallazo]

To me, is all like Dante from "Devil may Cry", twins pistols full of style and the coolest sword ever

[bwflonesoldier]

I would go with a semi-automatic .22 rifle, something light to carry around; or a hand and half sword in close quarters.

[Mr. Panda]

http://netlinkenterprises.com/prodimages/801B.jpg -> Nunchaku's! I know how to use them, too, sort of x_X;. I have one which is made of hard plastic and covered with foam.

[Baka]

Razor Leaf is a good weapon to use.

Bulbasaur!!! I choose you!!!

[Mr. Panda]

^ shouldn't your weapon of choice be a pokéball then?

[Baka]

^ shouldn't your weapon of choice be a pokéball then?
No. I lost all of my pokéballs so Razor Leaf via Bulbasaur is the weapon.

[Scarred DNA]

Ruger P345 .45

[Sakura Holic]

Machine guns would be too heavy for me....

Shurikens, daggers, kunai or any throwing weapons are a no go. Except for Senbons. I got the hang of them. =D

So I guess Senbons, handgun, and a light sharp sword...

[Ryuuzaki HD]

A good old Scythe usually comes in handy.

[Forgotten Show]

Weapon of choice for what? Personal defense or war? They've both got very different requirements for very different scenarios. You can even break those down into types of personal defense (carrying for general defense versus preparing for known conflict, in addition to differences regionally by local attitudes and laws regarding self-defense) and into types of warfare (dismounted vs mounted patrol, etc.). It'll also depend on what you're trained with, and how diligent you are in that training; having a piano and tapping keys once in a while doesn't make you a musician, you know?

As I posted elsewhere, I have my preferences (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a213/black_knight_reborn/Firearm-related/DSCN5293.jpg).

[Cobra Commander]

Some sort of assault rifle, and a sword would do just fine. I'd need training with the sword. I'm a pretty good shot with everything else. It'd have to have the noob tube [grenade launcher] slung under the barrel.

[Capernicus]

Weapon of choice: good looks and charm.





Okay, so that's two weapons. Sue me.

[Forgotten Show]

(Not always! Part of charm might be good looks, or good lucks might carry their own charm.)


Bad Memory

[Alkazor]

For close range, non-gun I would go for a Naginata
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31SFKDP6C7L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

For close range with gun, pistol.
I'm a lousy shot with a sniper, so I guess a missile launcher turret type thing, with a big shield so I can't get sniped.

But ideally, I'm the one issuing commands to the rest of you ;)

[Sanosuke23]

My trusty +2 Impact/Collision/Energy aura/Ethereal reaver Warhammer.

If I'm feeling feisty, I might decide to dust off the ol' Greater Legacy'd Crimson Ruination. Depends on the character sheet and what books we're using.

If we're just using core books, a +2 flaming longsword will always be the standard in enchanted weaponry.

[Bring Me The Horizon]

My weapon of choice would be a desert eagle minus the recoil so I don't break my nose

[Mr. Panda]

Weapon of choice: good looks and charm.

Dangerous. :(

[Atsui Sake]

My weapon of choice is a spear. I <3 ======================>

[Grim Scythe]

To use in earnest? Whatever is at hand that will end whoever needs to die quickly. Like an E-Tool:love:. By occupation i'm most familiar with the M16 and the M9. I also like knives.

[Cobra Commander]

In a pinch, I'd reach for that 70 year old russian carbine. I know it front to back, can operate it blind by feel, can load it by feel if need be, and it has a bayonet for close quarters combat.

It's magazine capacity is limited, though, so an AK47 would be more useful.

Good question. For real weapons, the Colt M1911A1. My uncle took me to a range once and let me at it. It's really the only weapon (besides a machete) that I wielded.

If fictional weapons count, I want to use the Weisswritter's Oxtongue Rifle.

Machine Gun [Automatic ones]
Chicago Typewriter [It's a machine gun]
Katana [I like it.]

I know they're many. That's what I get for playing/watching video games and TV.

[Sparklee]

Uzi or AK-74

[TheAsterisk!]

Why settle for mere weapons when you can have airborne weapons systems capable of doing everything but occupying large swaths of territory?

First Choice: F-15E- good for air-to-air and air-to-ground. Capability to drop napalm is welcomed and even delightful. I will not settle for some low-cost, downgraded export F-16, either, so don't try to point out he cost difference.
With the Eagle, I'll get an internal 20mm cannon and pretty much anything else I can mount and lift minus nukes.
Second Choice: P-47- same as above, just dated. No missiles and just iron bombs (meaning unguided), sadly, but more guns: a whole mess of .50cal! I don't care what variant it is; they're all good. I'll only resort to this if the government pulls some fascist crap and denies me my Strike Eagle, as is my right.
Third Choice, only viable for world domination and/or apocalypse scenarios: XB-70:
http://www.k2.dion.ne.jp/~konjyo/xb-70/xb70.4.jpg
If I break out this Mach 3 nuclear bomber prototype, you all may as well say goodbye to your loved ones. I'd have to be pretty desperate, though, so you'd be better off looking for my other choices.
The F-104 looks real nice, too, but the lack of air-to-ground capability makes me reconsider, and the type was often regarded as a bit of a death trap on landing.

If we're limited to ground-based weapons in this thread, then I suppose I'd settle for the M388 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)) (or other nuclear artillery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_artillery), though I find the M388 almost adorable in its proportions). A half-kiloton of fun will deter all but the craziest idiots.


As for a weapon I might actually get my hands on, far simpler implements will do. Pipes, poles and rocks can do some serious damage to an unguarded face, along with most of the human body. Sometimes, people don't take you seriously with more primitive weapons, allowing you to move in quickly and pummel any arrogant fool who underestimates the might of blunt trauma.

[Wonderwice]

A longbow, a crossbow and some sort of machine gun would be nice. XD Ooooh and a flamethrower! If I'd be able to wield any of those weapons... uh, probably not XP Chainsaws are nice too. Yeeees. >:3

As for a game weapon,.. I'd definitely go for Dante's full powered Pandora from DMC4. And heck, I want a light saber, too. Darth Maul's double one, of course.

[Cannon]

Oh wow...
I am just waiting for some one to post they want a katana sword or even a sword from a Final Fantasy game:laugh:

definetly yea ol' axe for me.

though from whateveryone else has said, im guessing ranged is in question here, if i had to go for ranged.....hmmmmmm... composite bow and poison tipped arrows. ^_^

TheAsterisk!, you're aware of Boeing's newest incarnation (http://www.defensetech.org/archives/004803.html) of the F-15, right?



A Desert Eagle with silencer and laser attachment using a .50 caliber shell.

"Awkward" might be an understatement.


FN F2000 assault rifle

"Very akward" might be an understatement. They're too damn bulky for what they do. If you want a bullpup (I dislike 'em, but to each their own), angle for a STG-556 (http://www.msarinc.com/home.html). The Brits have an aight bullpup, but it's heavy.


Bad Memory

[Storm Strife]

The Brits have an aight bullpup, but it's heavy.

There's also the fact that the SA80 is not an ambidexterous rifle. The ejection port and cocking handle are on the right side of the rifle, forcing the user to fire it right-handed.

[Phoenix101]

Handgun: HK USP March 5
Rifle: M82A1 or M107 Barret 50 cal Sniper or the Dragunov
Assault Rifle: an old school South African R1 (also known as the FAL paratrooper)
Sword: Katana

[Eris]

The right handed people are quietly preparing for a final showdown against the left handed guys. I've been telling you guys for years! One of these days they'll come with everything from scissors to assault rifles...

Nothing's as dangerous as Man. I'd pick the "E-Z Anger Bag Kit": Instant human, just add coffee.

Crossbow.I've been in Archery for years and years, and I love it. So it's only natural that a bow would be my weapon of choice.

[*Tsuki*]

I would choose steel chopsticks. XD
I love those things!

Swords R Cool!

[IFS]

weapon of choice pen and paper, nothing hurts more than words and insults, the pain goes away after you've been stabed or shot unless it kills you, but insults stay with you for a while, and if that fails then all thats left is my ninja keyring.

[Dead rose]

I want a sword like saya's from blood+ anime

I would have Swords all over me, on my back, side and daggers on the side on my legs, but if i could only choose 1 i would like a red and black hilted Katana thats slightly longer then normal ones sheathed on my back, that would be ausome

[mstrmnd48]

katana, bow staff, nunchucks, or my fists are my weapons.

[Eris]

Poisonous serpents. You can throw them in people's faces, or put them somewhere they'll jump out and attack people.

A katana, i do like the traditional Japanese katanas, i bought one some years back along with an air rifle and most recently a shot gun. I did used to have a magnum but i had that taken from me by laws >_>
But yeah, a katana, ive done alot of practicing with it and im getting good =)

Yes but nothing says scr3w you better than a barret 50 cal.

[The Governator]

Yes but nothing says scr3w you better than a barret 50 cal.

How does it? The person will not see you, so thus its the worst way to say screw you.

Slay Living, is a better way to say screw you, because you actually have to get up to the person to touch them.

[naotavespaboy]

The foil (fencing kind). I'm already good at using this weapon (grade 5 and have won 4 trophies in this weapon dicipline) I prefer using the Saber though its more exciting. Neither are particularly dangerous though so I won't get far in proper fight mind.

As for righties versus lefties.... well the righties would win. As a leftie I know how clumsy our kind are.....

[Takizawa]

Assuming I could have the power to go with it I'd pick Byakuya's Senbonzakura from Bleach.

Call of Duty 4 Style? Sweet. I was thinking the same but I would use any weapon I can get my hands on.

[Forgotten Show]

Fun little tidbit they don't tell you about the Desert Eagle: the casings eject from the top, meaning, straight up and back. Most .50 AE casings are steel. So that's a half-inch wide steel casing sent rearward with modest velocity. Assuming fairly normal human proportions, it seems to align its flight path with the forehead amazingly well.

My friend, there wouldn't be a degree available for folks like me if that were correct.


Bad Memory

[Atsui Sake]

After much thought, I think my weapon of choice would be BeNdInG (those who have watched Avatar: The Last Airbender would know what I'm talking about). I think I would especially enjoy using earth-bending. Especially if I were an advanced earth-bender, then I could bend metal, and I could make any weapon I damn well please AND make it fly around.

[Marshmallow Fluff]

A rapier.

They're elegant and precise.

And it would be even better if I actually knew how to wield one. :\

[CapnJack]

I go for two handed staff or bladed weapons like spears, or nodachis, or any other similar kinds that I cant think of right now. Its the control and smooth dance like handling that I enjoy. Spinning a staff in my hands gives me more control then just swinging a sword with one hand or two close together.

[Forgotten Show]

Bad Memory
That's true, but I'm talking about my lack of control and precision with a one handed European sword. Katanas I do admit to liking a lot because of the sleekness and history of them. My pic Gallery has me with one. I love katanas, but put a staff-like item in my hand (broom, etc) and an urge to practice and spin with it, though Ive had no real lessons, comes over me. I too have had 'Bad Memories' though. o.<

[Forgotten Show]

Practice practice practice. Spinning weapons looks cool, but isn't very practical, learned the hard way by anyone who gets to practice fighting with weapons. Mild off-topicness. :closedeye

H&k G-series. Like the G36; you can put 50,000 rds through it before a single jam. And unless they're wearing DragonArmor, or you're up against Deadpool, you're gonna put the other person down.
Then again, there's not much more intimidating then the sound of the pump-action of a Shotgun.
But to complete the arsenal properly, you gotta have a sword or a machete...cause it won't run out of ammo. An especially important fact when fighting against the Zombie Horde.

[SleuthehSocks]

I'm fond of bolt action rifles even if I have to be right handed for them. That's why handguns are nice since I shoot better left.
Then again long swords don't need loading and they're expensive if they're not replicas.

I wish I was good at archery, too..
