The hunting shotgun never fails!................................. well, that and the fact that it is the only pump action shotgun in the game.

After I got a pump-action shotgun IRL, I decided the Hunting Shotgun shall be my tool of destruction across the wastes. I do love being able to switch between buckshot and slugs, too.

Either the good ol' Hunting Rifle or...

The All-American. It's an absolute ************ to get (at the arse-end of a vault full of overpowered ghouls), and it requires a ridiculous 100 Guns skill to handle properly, but if you are able to compensate the extra shakiness; man, will it come in handy!

The 9mm pistol with a scope. Very useful and you can buy the scope at the general store you start near. Helps to a high degree against the low level enemies such as powder gangers convicts etc you meet.

The .357 magnum Lucky. On top of it being a black revolver with gold detailing, and having my favorite type of reload, I got to shout out "I'm getting Lucky tonight!" while going to pick the safe.

Well, you might not get the scope, loot is randomized. On one playthrough, that general store had every Varmint Rifle mod (kind of a disc one nuke), but on others, there wasn't a single good thing in the whole store.

Survivalist's rifle. I love AR-15 type rifles with wood furniture (but service rifle is shit). Also I like the story behind it. Dinner Bell and Brush Gun are runners-up and Cowboy Repeater for lower level character.

Pushy, a unique displacer glove or the ballistic fist. Why these two? Because you punch a guy so hard and with so much awesome force that it literally causes an explosion and sends the guy flying away. That and you can tear through most enemies in 2 punches. Role playing as Chuck Norris...
Just to clarify but you are aware that the Displacer Glove (Pushy) uses a speaker to create a sonic boom and the Ballistic fist has an in-built shotgun?

The LMG is very fun because it's less of a "spray and pray" weapon and more of a "spray and rain death" weapon.

I like the Assault Carbine mostly because it looks like a G36C to me. Still wish they would include a SCAR-L, though.

The revolver that you get from the lonesome drifter deserves a mention because it's fucking hilarious.

I'm hoping my parents were able to buy New Vegas again, my brother sold it. I HATE HIM.

Ahem, so my favorite weapon was the Anti-Material Rifle. I pack a ton of ammo for it and use it for just about every enemy. They go down very fast.

I also use the Ranger Sequoia, which is an awesome revolver and feels nice to use. Ballistic Fist was simply amazing to use on my Unarmed/Melee character. The Hunting Rifle with the Scope and attachments is easy to maintain, good as a make-shift Sniper Rifle, is fun to use and feels good in your hands. I love it.

Fully upgraded Elijah's LAER from Old World Blues, it's accurate, deals a lot of damage and I swear that thing autohomes on enemy weapons, half the enemies I kill with it either have their weapons destroyed or their arms crippled by the time I kill them.

Gauss Rifle, Really effective at distance and just as good up close, if a bit less accurate. And once I'd destroyed the Brotherhood of Steel's bunker I had enough ammo to last an entire playthrough
You'll have enough to last 2 playthroughs if you convert SEC to MFC.

But yeah, YCS/186 is my favourite weapon. The only problem is that it chews through Microfusion Cells faster than a MIRV chews through Mini Nukes. It's incredibly effective though, so it's often worth the expenditure.

At the beginning of New Vegas I used literally any gun I found, from BB guns to bumper swords. Then after a while I grew accustomed to the plasma rifle, and used that throughout the rest of the game.

Hush, I want my fantasy of a punch so awesome it makes the spontaneous explosions.
