In Response To: What is your favorite weapon? (Starship Security Officer)

: Hey guys, read the title. I have two favorite weapons. Standard issue too!
: one is the assault rifle. Rapid fire primary fire or killer grenade secondary
: fire, I love this gun. Well, who doesn't?
: The other is the magnum. Why? let me put it in advertising: "Need a
: weapon that has better range capabilities than your assault rifle's
: grenades?
: Need a weapon that has better accuracy capabilities than your assault rifle's
: bullets?
: Assault rifle almost or exactly out of ammo?
: Need an instant-hit weapon to finish off an enemy quicker?
: Trying not to accidently inflict friendly fire on BOBs?
: Then take out your sidearm, because in these situations, you definately be
: better off with the magnum!
: There you have it. In some cases the rifle is better. In some cases the
: pistol is better. Give feedback. Here come the Pfhor.

If I could only have one weapon out of the entire Marathon arsenal, I would have to go with the fusion pistol. It is punishing. It is reasonably accurate at long range. It triggers switches. It is hell on armored Pfhor and Cyborgs. It works in a vacuum. It blinds your net opponent. It's main drawback is that it damages you to fire it under media, but then you always have your default fists for that and nothing has a ranged attack underwater anyway.

Now I only picked the fusion pistol because you gave me only one choice. The true beauty and genius of Marathon's weapon set is the incredible balance of function they provide. Each with their own true strengths and weaknesses. In any particular instance, you will find one weapon to be superior to all the rest. Marathon still beats the pants off of other games in this regard. There really is no "One" best Marathon weapon in my opinion.
