In terms of real life? None, really. Although if I had to use a gun to defend myself in a life or death situation, I'd take a handgun. Easy to operate, and less likely to hurt my arm than a heavier gun.
In games, I am a huge fan of Magnums/revovlers. Tons of stopping power, and they just feel badass.

I always liked Assault rifles for their versatility and ability to look awesome.
If I can, I always team it up with a Sniper Rifle.

I would either take a assault rifle or dual wield pistols, I dunno, I guess I like feeling bad ass.

I swear there is nothing more orgasmic than the sound of a empty shotgun shell bouncing on concrete.
. . .so yeah, I'll take a shotgun; nothing fancy though, a simple pump action not some stupid fully automatic tinfoil mistake of nature made popular by "brown is realism shooter 2012"

There is something clean and professional about using solely a handgun. It's very...measured, exact and precise. But not revolvers, pistols to be exact. Something like this:

Gawd I want to fire that weapon...

Personally, I'll lay my hands on the first machine gun I find, and only put it down when I run out of ammunition for it. As much as I like a machine gun for its' practical capabilities, namely the ability to deal with anything from infantry to light vehicles to light aircraft, and it's supression fire capacity is second to none, I really love it for the intimidation factor. There is little that will cause faster bladder evacuation than hearing a constant stream of high calibre bullets shredding anything they hit.
I think that makes you that assassin in the shades from the end of "Scarface", doesn't it?Dr Bodom said:
Sniper rifle in games. It's slower, but I've always been one of those guys who feels the point of a fight or war or battle is to do as much damage to your enemy's forces as possible while taking as little as you can. It's why in games like Halo and Gears of War, I hate when the allied AI dies, and why I always try to preserve troops in Total War games rather than going for the phyrric victory. Thus, using a sneaky or stealthy approach is my preferred method, and taking out my enemies from a distance is much better than going all out and charging in guns a'blazing. Besides, it's often better to deal with enemy snipers this way as well, by counter sniping, rather than letting them get a shot in first before you see where they are. Plus, the scope is good for scouting areas without getting too close, so you can come up with a decent strategy.
And in real life, I have to say this pretty much applies as well, at least those points that translate to the real world rather than video games. Again, my favourite weapon is the sniper rifle.
