I'm going to say the pistol as well. Why? Its one of the most versitile weapons in the game. You take take down tanks (from the top of the last bridge in AOTCR) and can one-shot a hunter. They are good for sniping Flood, as the SR won't work, and I love the little gunsling MC does after a pistol whip!

the pistol is good for short- and long-range shooting, and kills in 3 shots. One brings down shields, and the other 2 kill.

Pistols are too powerful (thankfully they will be toned down in Halo 2)

Snipers dominate long range.

Plasma Pistol has accuracy and overcharge to take down any shield.

Plasma Rifle powerful on shields and delay effect (PP aslo).

Shotguns dominate short range.

Needlers are good to use on the new guy.

Assualt Rifle ... well let's say dissapointing.

Rocket Lanchers have there place and time.

Well that's my opinion...

i am a sniper so of course i like that sniper rifle but i have just gotten into the plasma rifle/ AR tactic. You empty a "mag" , cause i know a plasma rifle doesnt have one, of each wepon into the person in multiplayer, starting with the plasma rifle. that quickly downs the sheild and then take 'em out with the AR. its easy and simple.

as my avatar suggests im a sniper and i use it whenever possible, even in short range its hard to master close range sniping but once you do your extremely deadly, ive taken down people with shotguns at close range because of the sniper rifles immense power. but i would use each of these guns in certain situations.

It's also been confirmed that three headshots will kill with the magnum, so I would say 4 or 5 shots total would kill.
