Your Favorite Weapon

[Spitfire175]

The SAKO TRG 42. Absolute quality, absolute precision, absolute power.
Alternatively, a Scottish claymore.

Weapons are bad. They hurt people.

Guns don't kill people, AH DO. Sorry, couldn't resist.

OT: The Sniper Rifle from Deus Ex. You could mod that thing until it was silenced, had no recoil, laser sighted, and could pick people off from 2 miles away.

'DMC' and 'MGS3' are not acronyms.

Defintion: Acronym = ac·ro·nym (kr-nm)
n.
A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps.

Glad to help.

Seeing how I am a student of linguistics, I can assure you that this is NOT correct, at least not entirely.
An acronym is, of course, a type of abbreviation. However, an acronym is an abbreviation which can be pronounced applying conventional reading rules; 'NASA' would be an example of an acronym, since you can pronounce it like any other regular word.
Abbreviations such as 'MGS' or 'DMC' on the other hand are consonant clusters where every letter requires separate pronunciation; this kind of abbreviation is called 'initialism'.

To cite properly:

"[Abbreviations] can be pronounced either by naming each individual letter (so-called initialisms, as in USA [...] or by applying regular reading rules (e.g. NATO [...]). In the latter case the abbreviation is called an acronym."

[Altio]

The Handcannon (RE 4) The Shuriken Lightning Gun (Forgot which game) Groovitron (Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD) Or the gnome gun from Earthworm Jim 64, you know, the gun that shot those little guys who'd explode into a shower of bones on impact with something.

Lightning's gun-sword.

My chief weapon is FEAR! Fear and surpise-TWO weapons are...

Well I'll let Monty explain it:

I'd have to say Anthrax, because pulmonary anthrax is lethal within about three days of inhalation of the spores and is untreatable unless it is immediately countered with very strong antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, in some cases for up to 60 days of oral therapy is required. Can't get much more dangerous and scary than that.

Psychological weapons. Like playing spice girls albums at high volume, followed by the sound of music, followed up with the hampsterdance song and the crazy frog on repeat. A day of two of that, and even Tom Cruise would renounce scientology.

My favourite weapon is Logic. Not many things can beat that.

Id like to see logic beat a bullet

Logic told me to take the guys bullets before he could shoot me. Now I stab him with
them.

If I may say so myself, SERVED, *****!
Cookie for you.

One of my top rules is always keep a spare clip with me
.50 cal, hollow point rounds

......logic can suck on that

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Half Brick + Sock.

There's no situation that it can't solve.

Jeff's heavy bazooka. Multi-bottle rockets are good an' all, but not as reliable as the good old Heavy Bazooka.

*With Pipe in mouth in an old armchair and smoking jacket with an old school WWI-era General's Mustache* Quite.
