Precisely, although I'm sad I wasn't the first to think of it. I forgot a gun, I'd go with either a good old shotgun or a smaller multilaser for spraying wildly and ineffectually, like I'm in the A team.

My weapon of choice? Of course the ever trusted, often underestimated and rarely copied lasgun It's a straight simple, easy to use rifle with almost no shortage of supplies. What more could one ask for ? Okay, more firepower... Oh well.
Next would be the grenadelauncher, simply because it gives a little extra punch while I'm still not important enough for the enemy to shoot me immidately. Oh, and I won't fry myself due to overheat *BONUS*
For close combat... AHAHA! No really, hand me the bayonet and maybe some frags. If something didn't die from shooting, it probably knows well enough how to turn me into well-made snacks. Or some commissar will "encourage" me, whatever happens first.

Dare to be stupid!

A multilaser. Power armour with grav-stabilizers to better manage the weight and increase jump height/distance. Power sword and storm shield for close combat.

Or, if I were a psyker:
Rune armour and a two-handed force sword. Bolt pistol for backup but I'd really prefer to fry people with lightning.

And while you're trying to shoot it enough times it'll pull out a bigger gun or walk up and rip your arms off.

So many variables here. I assume we are talking here about personal weapons and not the squad/tank/warship/planetkiller variety.

Option A ( cheap & available ). Lasgun with Auxiliary Grenade Launcher. The AK-47 analog is excellent. A rifle that is available, utterly reliable and easy to use. ( As a sidenote , the Finnish Army RK62 is a derivative of the AK47. I learned to love the gun. Even when you crawled through mud, snow and reindeer s#€t, it still worked .)

Option B ( expensive & deadly ). Combimelta w Targeter and special ammo. Power weapon for close combat.

If we can go for stuff like battle cannons, why not a captured Tau stealthsuit that has heavy bolters grafted, Force fields attached and a pair of claws attached undcer the bolters in the same way the necrons have their axe... It'll be effective at long range (mega cool rail cannons or ultra precise missiles), medium range (twin-linked heavy bolters ) and CC (force field, lightning claws). Ain't that SuperDuper for something that you can actually use?!

Seeing as recently some oil weapons have come back into the game, (I'm thinking vortex grenades, conversion beamers and Luaks's stasis grenade)
It got me thinking about some other retro weapons, - graviton gun, or webber anyone?

on second thoughts I'd think I'd rather have bolter - HURR!
