What weapon would you be?

Easy:
In dark Souls: An improved pyro flame, granting you more uses and way bigger fireballs, flames and firestorms (also goes for the chaos variety), although you will have to worry about setting yourself on fire (friendly fire? Nope, I will f*cking burn you). But if you manage to avoid that, you get to roast everything in sight.
Modern setting:
A giant thermonuclear bomb.
Yep.
No-nonsense, good for one use only, but DAMN will it get every job ever done.
Bit hard to carry, though.

Sir, you deserve mad props for your post. My favourite weapon ever from my favourite game ever.No social life said:
OT: Well, there are various kinds of weapon I'd like to be, but the way I understand it the weapon is, in essence, supposed to reflect me. I think I'd likely be a two-handed warhammer - uncompromising, raw power delivered with blunt finality, and completely geared towards offensive capability; as for distinctive qualities, the long haft would probably be made from a sturdy but lightweight material, whereas the head would have increased density, resulting in a weapon relying on momentum and fluid, ongoing motion (in sweeping arcs) rather than separate strikes.
Well, I am easily "fired up", but I don't like hurting people and even if I'd have to fight,I'd prefer if people didn't suffer too much.
Maybe some kind of mid to long range rapid-firing rifle with rubber bullets, that cause enemies to fall asleep upon contact.

A nuclear warhead, I tend to deter violence or conflict with my very presence, I make peace through the threat of overwhelming, uncaring, indiscriminate force.
Maybe if I have to be "handheld" I'd be a sledgehammer, sure in direct combat you gotta be real strong to use me effectively, but if you're a sneaky bastard, whoever you are aiming to hit with me, well, they aren't getting back up.

I would be a magical bow that has a >85% chance to fire your melee weapons, starting with the most used. You also have to recover the weapon from the body and you can't get it back if it goes somewhere inaccessible. Does good damage though.
Failing that, a half-decent short sword.

If I could choose, I'd probably be something deliciously, ridiculously OP, like a sword that can cut gravity or drill that pierces the heavens. Does my desire to do such things give my weapon-self the power? It is a reflection of me, after all... or maybe it just means my weapon is always falling short.
Something a little more reflective of my actual self might be something like a silver spear that constantly bleeds ink from the tip. I am a writer, the spear could be like a really big pen, and used creatively it could actually have some combat benefits.

I would probably be a silent dagger (make no sound as it about to stab someone), useful for an assassin.
A mind controlling bastard sword. I wouldnt instantly turn my wielder into a rampaging madman, just force him to pass me over to someone else if I dont like him. Just because I died and was turned into a sword doesnt mean I dont get a say in what I cut up! I also refuse to be dual-wielded beside anything else than a dagger, and that only in an emergency. Because dual wielding is silly and impractical.
The weapon is sturdy and versatile, contains no redundant parts, a minimum of decoration and no fancy polishing. Its heavy and long enough to sever limbs, with a sharp enough point to pierce armor. It can be used with one or two hands, can be grasped behind the guard with the second hand, and even the crossguard can be used to clobber someone. All parts beside the blade are black.
I also refuse all forms of maintenance or modifying, instead remaining perpetualy sharp and unpolished.
This was kinda fun to write about.

A Gladius. Either that or a Bastard Sword. Probably the Bastard. Can be used effectively with two hands or one hand with a shield. And very nice when fighting from horse/dragon back too.
Not too thin though. Thickness and badassery could vary, from a knight's sword to wide single-edged sword used for the thickest of monsters.

I'd probably end up as a Hospitaler mace. Y'know, those heavy maces with the smooth ball on the end. Brutal and effective, but stemming from a misguided attempt at righteousness, kinda like me.
Or maybe a hammer since I sometimes pull double-duty as a tool. ^_^

A shillelagh, i once charged a black bear with a shillelagh and it ran away.. if it can scare at bear it can scare a person
I would totally be some huge-ass warhammer type thing. For starters, it's a paragon of badassery and awesomeness. Like me, it's pretty low maintenance. And when you get bored, you can smash shit with it, just for the hell of it.
If not that, then some kind of wildly inappropriate phallus-shaped weapon (preferably a rocket launcher, something explosive), just so when I kill people, I kill their dignity too.
