Imperial and Rebel Assault Class pistols. E-11, A280, Imperial and Rebel Heavy Weapons machine guns.

Officer pistols.
PMG
Thermal Detonator
Sniper rifles
Bowcaster...

I am a pretty well rounded soldier. I like almost all the weapons, and I can't really pick one over the other.

I thought there is sway with the sniper's.........at least the empireal one has a stabalizer......I thought they were hard to use actually, but I've always been a crap sniper anyway.

I really like the medic rifles though, if anything they're too easy to use. But I guess that's balenced with the somewhat hard to see scope, at least it's hard to see through on mos entha.

Flechettes are awesome, I almost always pick it over the rifles.

I actually prefer the rebel blaser pistol over the empire's counterpart, only thing is that it comes with less ammo.

The sniper rifle for the assault class is one of my favourites. I love ti to stay a bit away from my squad and give them long range fire support. The e-11 is superb too!

I love the Flechette. Great at medium range and amazing in close encounters.
The hh-15 rocket launcher comes in a close second. Love the sounds of shooting this weapon too.

The basic assault rifles are nice but the E-11's sight needs a center dot IMHO to help aim

From my limited play time I love the DLT-19a, a great rifle at medium range.

I'm a big fan of the Medic pistols (not the base sidearm, but the rifle alternative). It is very powerful and very accurate at long range (if you can figure out how to aim with using the sight and no scope).

The basic assault rifles are nice but the E-11's sight needs a center dot IMHO to help aim (or I just need to suck less).

I also quite like the Sniper rifles. They are far too easy to use since there is no sway or noticeable recoil, but frankly that's believable given the supposed (read: fictional) technology being used.

The rebel medic battle rifle. Forgot how it's called, but it's a great mix of accuracy and firepower .
In space, guns of the TIE interceptor
