shotguns, they are amazing in DOOM, the Halo shotgun was fun and in RE games the shotgun kicks all the arse. Except in TF2 where I will choose the situationaly best class and weapons.

SMG and knife combo. Favorite gun would be the SCAR because it looks freakin' badass and has great accuracy. The gun in MGO that was based on the SCAR was the only one I'd use. Developers can't seem to make up their minds whether it's an assault rifle or SMG though.
I'm all about speed and stealth in shooters, so having a weapon that's lightweight with a short barrel is my friend. Shame that they're more likely to kill you then your enemy in the recent COD games.

My favourite straight up, revolvers. They have a certain finesse, and an elegant practicality. They do the job, blowing a hole through a person's skull or just intimidating them. If you want a gunfight over in a flash, use a revolver. Not much for ridiculous oversized revolvers though, they defeat the point. For the same reason I hate deagles.
I also like tactical shotguns (with a tight spread and good range) to clear paths and blast monsters. And shotguns in general do the job.
Submachine guns are great too. More portable than assault rifles, generally better for close-quarters combat.

sniper rifles

I voted for SMG's, because they are my favorite, but what the hell is this "spray and pray"? You know you can AIM with an SMG. Every time I've seen someone spray and pray it was with a machine gun (M60) or even an assault rifle.
As for real life, I definitely prefer my AK-47 to my SMG (pretty much a MP5 clone). More accurate and has yet to ever jam.

Shark Gun.
It. Shoots. Sharks.
That should be enough for you to see why this weapon is the most awesome.
So yes, I like unconventional weapons, and I'm big fan of low tech weapons, like crossbows and Bows in shooters.
And I liked the weapons found in Clive Barker's Undying for example. There was an Ice spitting Dragon.
I completely agree. While I would prefer to just run around with a bunch of explosive weapons, they're generally in short supply in most shooters so a decent assault rifle or LMG will often get the job done just as well.The Salty Vulcan said:
I tend to go towards Assault Rifles, usually with some kind of scope on them to make them easier to use at longer ranges (if the option is available)
I think my favourite Assault Rifle is probably the M4A1 from Call of Duty Modern Warfare, I was sad when I felt like I 'had' to switch to the AK47 just because it was all gold and shiny.
Special mention goes to the Link Gun from Unreal Tournament, that seemed like an assault rifle to me.

Snipers or shotguns, when you fight me there is no such thing as mid range.
I also melee alot but thats mostly me trying to conserve ammo or trying to kill someone after I unloaded my shotgun and don't have time to reload.
ooooo if there is a crossbow in the game, I will use it.
If you wanna look at weird fake guns then it gets interesting....
How about that gun from one of the early N64 turok games that latched onto an enemies skull, drilled into their brain and then exploded? Most needlessly sadistic/horrible/gruesome gun ever made.

I've gotta agree with you on the pistols. Especially revolvers. In most games you can get a lot of ammo for your pistol, and it usually has some decent damage. That, and the pistols' firing speed make it pretty good as long as you know how to aim.
Plus old-school revolvers just look sweet!

I personally like to pack a sniper rifle and then something like an M93R or G18 for closer quarters in Battlefield 3. Bad Company 2 it's a sniper with a revolver or an assault rifle with an m9.
COD? Assault rifle and a lock on launcher at all times.
Killzone? Cloack, Sniper Rifle, PDW.
I voted AR cuz it's a happy medium and i'm most adept at it.
Edit: Although I'm fairly adaptive and use whatever fits my goal or the battlefield in question. Same with accesories and such.

High powered semi-auto rifles such as the G3 are my go-to weapon of choice. If I can I like to back such a weapon up with a shotty for close range. In Reach this manifests itself in the DMR/Shotgun combo, and in MW3 with the MK14/Spas12 loadout.
Give me low-ROF high-damage marksmanship over spray-and-pray hip-fire any day of the week.

Assault Rifles for me, but only if they have a single shot function so I can snipe when the opportunity comes up. I have to give pistols a close second because of a little pistol from way back in the Perfect Dark N64 days, the Magsec 3, three round burst fire & duel wielding. Love it.
From what I can gather from the almighty Google, the SCAR-L could be classified as an SMG and the SCAR-H as an assault rifle, which is what they're listed in FPS games if I remember right.Assassin Xaero said:
Shotguns, because in a good shooter they either send the enemey's corpse flying or turn their skulls (or the rest of the body) into mulch.
the only games i some what recent that involved shooting guns is fallout new vegas and fallout 3
and my favorite kind of weapon is a sniper rifle. why attack the enemy up close when you can kill them from a distance.
although when distance is not an option it is between explosives, smg's, and pistols.
