a quarterstaff. Seeing a good staff form in action is a thing of beauty, and they double as walking sticks, making them more useful in ordinary situations than 99 out of a 100 weapons.

As for me, my favorite weapon would likely be a melee weapon, that melee weapon being a flail. Flails are cool.

I'd agree with Chalesm if I were able to actually make any use of a staff, as they are just...cool. But a flail is much easier to pick up, IMO

Melee: Shortsword. I'm horribly clumsy with everything, and the likelihood of me chopping off my own limbs is significantly less with a shortsword.

For general fun in games use, however, I prefer magic .

Oooooh, nice poll.

For a melee weapon, there's no question. Give me a Naginata, then get away before I flip the fuck out.

For a gun... hell, I don't know... I like the stopping power of a simple .357, but I get the feeling that I would enjoy trying out a sniper rifle as well. A pity I don't know all that much about guns, or I'd list specific types...

I really should learn more about guns. I've been intending to for a long time, but never have. As for shooting, I am only 14 and my dad doesn't collect guns, so that will be a no go

I don't have a specific answer, but it definately would be a pistol.

Hrm...

This is kinda a tough one...

I'm tempted to say rapiers and the like, simply because that's the only weapon I've really used...

But... I'm kinda partial towards long, large daggers (not short swords)...
Heavy ones, especially, I like the weight.


I'm not too into guns, but for any sort of guns, rifles in general are my favorite type. The Single shot kinda things...

It just seems like it has so much finesse, one simply, clear, powerful, long range shot. Not the multiple weaker shots of a pistol, or the haphazardness of anything automatic. Just one bullet.

Melee: Two-handed swords are perhaps my favorite ie Scottish Claymores and two-handed Japanese katanas. With a combination of my size and strength, I can make up for any loss of speed. Plus the reach on them is almost as good as a polearm. Speaking of polearms...a regular old spear or a halberd would do me good as well. Can use them both as a staff and as a piercing weapon.

Guns: Have only really used regular rifles and shotguns...would actually have to try more before learning which one really suited me, but in games I prefer machine guns.

For guns, well it would be a draw between the Gau-8, M256, or a Mark-7 and all the associated support systems needed to operate them

For melee, at one time I might have said something like a big ol' two-handed sword, but looking at it, two handers are something only a fully armored person can afford to use, not to mention the severe lack of martial training on my part. I would go with a Sword and shield combo..Or a spear and shield combo like the Greeks.

I don't have a lot of first-hand experience with weaponry, but I can get a feel for things pretty easily.

For melee weapons, I agree with Chalesm, both for the reasons he stated and for different reasons. I can't use most two-handed weapons well, because my arms don't coordinate well with both hands gripping near each other. On a quarterstaff, however, your hands are spread apart, and can shift to accommodate your needs. The whole staff is a handle. Some day I'd like to learn to use a quarterstaff. (A friend of mine has a 20 lb bar that's 5 ft long. I want to get something similar for practice, as learning to control that would help me get back in shape.)

When it comes to conventional range weapons, you just can't beat a good sniper rifle. Take your time, focus on the target, adapt to his or her movements. Then when you've finally locked it down, take a deep breath, hold it, and fire. Weapons like that take concentration, and the ability to think ahead. Plus you have to be okay with not breathing. Suits me perfectly.

Melee: For personal use, I'd probably use a hand axe and shield. As far as my favorite weapon in action, I've always liked the naginata, I'd just kill myself if I tried using it.

Firearms: OMG Id Use 2 Desert Egles 1 in each hand cuz they rock and shutup you're all lieing and the recoil wouldn't break my wriests your just a stupid noob shutup!!

Actually, I'd probably use some sort of shotgun, as there's a lot to be said for the intimidation factor.

Though if we're referring to weapons we can't feasibly get... I would really like some sort of lunar Mass Driver, or my own orbital laser platform.
