i think theyre all equal in damage, but i sure as hell love watching either a plasma pistol or plasma rifle melee!!! they look so cool, also, the plasma rifle (i think there are others too) has a different animation to the person watching you if you are ducking!

Pistol most stylish, AR looks most painful.

The sniper....C'mon...He pulls the entire gun over his head to hit the other person! But, it really doesnt matter what weapon as long as the melee is to the back!

Damage = All guns equal.

However, if you run and melee, you take down the whole shield, while when you stand still and melee, it leaves about 1 fifth of the shield. Also, if you jump and melee as you're coming down but while you are still in the air, you'll take down the whole shield and take about 2 - 3 bars of health, depending on your speed.

Plasma Rifle does it for me, quick, effiecient, and a great combo. You run while gunning them, pin 'em with stunning plasma fire, and the a quick melee finishes them. Of course, the plasma pistol works great for this too.

If you have the plasma pistol, over charge it when you get close and release. Right after that, melee and its over. A guy at one of the LAN parties my friend held was using this a lot in Battle Creek.
