Best weapon ???

[shogeri]

A Hummer...

If you can't hit 'em, gun 'em. No gun, then jump into a Hummer and run 'em down.

...just kidding.

I like a small knife, or perhaps a stick.

Your Body, if not then a bo staff

Best weapon?? For what application? Are you talking about home invasion? Walking a dark alley?

The gadget freak in me would like to have your basic pump action shotgun for home defense applications. I'd also probably go for a high capacity revolver with compensated barrel from Smith & Wesson or Taurus in .357. In reality, I have no such firearms at home. I do have a nice big Maglite for things that go bump in the night.

Ancient martial arts weapons are interesting to me from a collector's perspective and not so much for practical use.

it really depends on how profficient you are with any weapon, but your mind is the best weapon, you can overcome any obstical with it

[ShadowFox]

Well this is opional because it all depend on how good you are with it. Me personally I prefer the staff because of it reach.

Spear. The Roman empire was based on it's spear wiedling footmen. More range, gets those horse rider down.

Oh really? the spear aint the most useful anymore. I mean, sicne when do you see horsemen on the street trying to kill people?
