Poll: Your Main Weapon

[Emphraim]

Any automatic weapon. I usually start shooting the moment I see something without actually aiming, so sniper rifles and bolt actions are worthless in my hands.

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

The only shooter I really play is Gears of War. So shotgun. I have got 1000 more kills with the shotgun than my next best weapon (Snipe).

 

[Boaal]

An axe.

 

[Swaki]

whenever possible i choose to lurk around in the dark whit a long range weapon, picking off my enemies before they ever get the chance to hurt me.

 

[Bassman_2]

Super weapon as in Death Star?

Super weapon as in the BFG and the like.

My chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... My two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... My *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... My *four*...no... *Amongst* my weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....


I'll come in again.

I can't believe I read all that fearing some surprise and efficiency. You truly are a tricky fellow.

 

[US Crash Fire]

shotgun
good for those "FUCK!! FUCK! FUCK!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! THERE EVERYWHERE! RUN!!" moments.
like in L4D when you accidentaly shoot a car alarm.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Thank you for adding the Snipe. Makes stealthy peeps like myself real happy ^_^
"One shot, one kill. Or even better; maybe two!"

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Automatic, M16 to be specific

 

[falcon1985]

sniper baby

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Where's the 'Unarmed' or 'Telekinesis' options?

Bah, sniper, then. Nothing beats the look of terror on someone's face when they know someone's shooting but they don't know where from.

 

[Zacharine]

Sniper, for one-shotting those pesky enemies that appear out of nowhere.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Automatic. They're useful at any range and easy to use.

I actually prefer pistol/magnum type guns, but it's a shame pistols become so weak as the game goes on. And magnums are impossible to find ammo for.

In reality you get the problems of jamming, the barrel getting too hot/dirty and of course, the dreaded recoil. But most of all; the rapid drain on ammo supplies.
In games these are generally not a problem tho, and I do like to use em
But in games and reality I do really gravitate to Sniping in the end

Also, not in the thread, but booby traps make a Snipers favorite secondary weapon... Bring on them Claymore mines

 

[Skeleon]

Automatic weapons, in most games they're pretty accurate when fired in short bursts.

 

[PureChaos]

katana sword all the way

 

[gremily]

I would use an assault rifle of some kind.
