A question here: Are all the respondents choosing eldar weapons because they are eldar players, or are eldar weapons inherently cooler?

The best gun is......(drum roll)

The autogun. SO much cooler than the lasgun and wielded by IG infantry and therefore automatically awsome. One day my army will all have autoguns, pity its 2.50 for a sprue with just one   :'(

Emm both, I play Eldar and i choose Eldar becuase i think they look the coolest and sleekest of them all the other races, hence i choose the Shuriken Catapult because IMO its looks great.

Best weapon has to go to gazghull's adamantium skull (nothing like a liverpool kiss). If it was favourite gun i would say it goes to the oh so devilishly disgusting devourer "hurls a shower of flesh worms at the target whick immediately start burrowing into inside the victims body. A creature infested by flesh worms is driven mad with agony as the worms eat their way through the nervous system to the brain and devour it" How about that for a codex quote. Dinner anyone?

Fluffwise it's the fleshborer or devourer. Both provide really horrific ways to die for the unwary, and the latter are evil in the hands of Hive Tyrants when twin linked.

shrieker canon from the harlequins armoury  ;) part of the rule states that if a model is killed by the gun, the model explodes  ;D

The_Wolf
"The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'

"`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'

"`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.

I like mortars, In idea they sound cool, and I find them quite an effective weapon in-game. Also bolter's sound cool in fluff, and chain swords and eviscerators are my favorite melee weapons (mmm chainsaws..)

The truly deadly AGONIZER!
Its wicked because it can be represented by almost anything. A barbed gauntlet, a razor sharp whip, an deadly exotic blade, almost anything you please and it is amazing in game. Auto wounds on 4+ regardless of Toughness with no armor saves and auto glances vehicles on a 6. Not to mention its 1 handed.

Dread Axe.  On my Daemon Prince, he ignores all saves.

For guns: Battlecannon.  I adore indirect fire.

SoS...the Sword of Secrets.  Hits as hard as a Power Fist on a guardsman, hits at Initiative, mounted on a grandmaster, you can potentially have 5-6 attacks with it...and it gets the Strength bonus from Furious Charge...and it looks freaking sweet, along with great fluff! Simply unbeatable.

The Holy Bolter. I just like the idea of .75 caliber, armor piercing, explosive ammunition that is fired through a fully automatic weapon. Too cool.

The simple power sword. I am still tossing around ideas of an orientally themed SM army with sashemono and a variety of Katanas, naginata and other power weapons of this variety. My howling banshee's have just a bit of a tweak to thier swords so they more closely resemble the curve of a katana while my dark reapers have sashemono and my warp spiders will have them as well when I stop being lazy and get a new file to do a little work on thier backpacks.
A man who dies fighting with his principles intact dies in glory. To expect enemies to follow the same code of honor defiles that honor, reducing it to a set of arbitrary rules.

Lo there do I see my Father. Lo there do I see my Mother, and my Sisters and my Brothers. Lo there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning. Lo they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla where the brave, they live forever.
