User blog comment:The Gunsmith/So, what weapons did you actually end up using?/@comment-1503545-20120417134620

I am IN LOVE with the Mantis, Talon, Shuriken, Avenger, Phaeston, and Claymore. (It seems like the beginner guns are the best.) The M3 Predator has always been my favorite gun, but the Phaeston and the Claymore are quickly catching up. I am surprised with how much the Incisor and Phalanx have been beefed up and are actually really good in this game.

The guns I'm not so impressed with are the Particle Beam, Raptor, Widow, Carnifex, and N7 Hurricane. The Katana is still horrid. I'm also anxious to try out the Striker, Geth SMG, N7 Crusader, Chakram Launcher, Hornet, N7 Valkyrie, AT-12 Raider, and M-55 Argus.
