My favourite is the Assault Rifle because it performs well at all ranges. My least favourite is the shotgun, although I love to use them, their range and power is ridiculously underestimated in most games *cough* Call of Duty *cough*.
[EDIT]
Woah, I'm surprised there are so little votes for the SMG.

Assault rifles, but fully automatic ones, not burst. They've always been the most reliable for me.
Depend on game, like i can do alot in Fallout 3 with just a 10mm, but in other games the pistol will get you to like half-way through the first level before its obsolete. General purpose probably the assualt rifle or smg, as long as there is more than 10 bullets in the world and you can burst fire your good to go.
Sniper rifles. For some reason I just get a warm, cozy feeling when observing from a distance and being able to shoot them.
Shotgun. Instant kills. When I play Halo with my cousin he never starts us off with a shotgun anymore since I'll dominate.
I'm a knives only player in CoD. The only guns I can really stand are a sniper and shot gun. But yeah, I really prefer to have a knife in my hand.Radeonx said:
Except for Red Faction: Guerilla, I always seem to go with the shotgun.
Especially the one in Bioshock: That crack and pump really gives that badly needed sense of enpowerment when killing super-junkies.

It's so nice to hear someone else feels the same way. But due to my habit of saying "FU" to spawn-campers, I would choose a shotgun.A random person said:
Bolt action rifles. Not snipers, not Assault rifles.
A bolt action rifle and a revolver. And a knife.

Hmm...
the AR2 from HL2. That is one bad-ass gun.
Not sure if it counts as an SMG ('cause it's fully automatic) or an Assault Rifle ('cause it's a big arsed gun).
and in HL2ep3 I hope we get to loot

Aperture Science's Android soldiers who must be defending that ship-thing, right? bet they've got some nice swag!
My first thought is the pistol, but that's just because I'm thinking of the Halo pistol. Most pistols suck due to being underpowered.
With that in mind, my choice is the shotgun. Its range is not as versatile as a standard SMG, but that also means it evokes more strategy, demanding that the player find a way to close range.
Another element of strategy a shotgun sets up is that you can reload partway, stop, and fire, saving time if you manage to kill your enemy and wasting time if you don't.
As an aside, I like the way it goes 'kaboom'.
