My favourite weapon is the Davy Crockett, an atomic mortar whose range (2km) is less than the lethal range of the warhead. Volunteers, anyone?
Good stuff, but no thanks.
With no shielding or protection from either blast or radiation, a Davy Crockett crew would have been unlikely to survive any engagement, given that the blast area of the warhead was greater then the range of the rocket used to propel it.
1911 .45 automatic pistol , almost 100 years in continuous use . More mods / kits / parts available than any other side arm. I just shoot paper , Not for the flincher .
Or my skill of making something out of nothing , and the opposite.
Pussy… I’ll top your mortars and then some: Chemical lasers always do the trick, and then some.
Bring it on,

Hmmm… My favourite weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise… My two favourite weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency… My three favourite weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope… My four…no… Amongst my favourite weapons are such elements as fear, surprise… Oh, I’ll come in again…

Best weapon yet is the American infantryman.
My favorite weapon is honest and distracting conversation. I have talked my way out of many fights.
That being said who can beat a JDAM?
Without a GCS, the JDAM is a rock.

"Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This… is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart’s top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That’s right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That’s right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? "
Also used extensively in the Doom and Quake franchises.
Oh wait…were we talking about reality? Then in that case…
“This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.”

I concur. Then give him an M-4, with some sort of holographic sight, like this one: http://www.eotech-inc.com/lawe_hwsmodels.php
a one piece light/ pistol grip like this one: http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/carfnbr/266/prrfnbr/994
Then give him some sort of IR laser with flood…and good nods.
Finally, give him lots of HUMINT, so he can use it regularly.
Before you finished the first sentence, I already vaporized you with 300w of tight, chemical-laser based emissions.
I must be writing to your ghost or sending condolences to your loved ones?
Which one is it?

And me, a sharp quill.
Beat me to it, Matt…and that’s coming from a Marine.
I like what McArthur said…“The Soldier, above all, prays for peace.”
Of course, there is a first time for everything, and this is the first time I’ve agreed with Matt on anything…

Ha…
Is that all?
