Well, I was bored and found that a similar thread has not popped up here so I thought I may as well post it.

If you were a standard infantry soldier stuck down in the bog and wanted to live or just die with a bang, what would you do it with?

I'm left wondering why it matters what weapon I'd use...

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

Lasgun. It is the 40K version of the legendary AK-47 we all know and love. If I am stuck in the mud in the middle of hostile territory, I want something simple and reliable, not some fancy high-tech/Xenos gadgets. Getting bolt shells etc. might be impossible in the outback but the good old Lasgun can be recharged in a campfire .

Gauss rifles seem the deadliest and therefore the most fun. Not to mention you could disintegrate people's clothes off!

Splinter rifle was a close 2nd.

Ranger Long Rifle for me. I'm a squishy and wouldn't want to be in the middle of a Ork waaaaghhh. I'd rather just pick off the warboss and watch the ensuing pecking order.

Voted aswell for the same reasons. Not sure how the roll of 6 (& 5) = AP1 translates well over.

Though i'd love a good 'ol Slugga an Choppa when dey get close

The above thread is practically identical, on the first page, and nearly 8 pages long...

Was there really need to post a complete duplicate? Thought not...
