you are joking right? on easy to (maybe) heroic, i will always have a shotgun and a AR, 'cus the AR is the best thing in the world for mopping up pesky infection forms.(because it sprays so much) on heroic to legendary, i will have a shotgun and pistol. the pistol isn't too bad for taking out infection forms, and it's invaluable for the ability to shoot of floods' arms at long range.
Let's assume we're talking about legendary. Barring the sniper, the AR is easily the most ineffective weapon to use against the flood. Even the needler works better, because the flood walk in straight lines and usually travel in fairly tight formations. Other than the shotgun, I find the plasma pistol to be the most effective against the flood, but only if you can fire it quickly. In fact, I'd say, without a doubt, that the plasma pistol is the best all-around weapon on campaign.
