Yes

(e.g. - From low: "Give this weapon to the rookie so he doesn't hurt him/herself or anyone else for that matter" to High: "This weapon makes things go away just by its mere presence on the battlefield", and everything in between)

I feel like most of the weapons here do well in this, except most of the assault rifles could use some work.   

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" I am not asking which you think is the "best", only which one do you simply like to play with most of all.

My favorite weapon overall is the Claymore, even though it's not nearly my most used weapon.  I just love the sounds of this gun firing, and the design, and overall badassery of it since ME2.

[whothehellstolemyname]

yes, there is enough variety in the conventional weapons, and a few functional outliers (scorpion, falcon, javelin, etc) here and there that keep things interesting

GPS and Krysae are more accessible, I feel

Do I have to pick just one?..Valiant (user friendly), Black Widow (power), Mantis (lightweight), Claymore (more power), Revenant (silly fun), Hurricane (sillier fun), Wraith (bling bling boom), etc...

[neon skink]

There's a good selection of guns, but the assault rifles need some love as they are underwhelming at the mo.

Another smg or two wouldn't hurt.

quite often end up using carniflex to keep low cooldown. scorpion is lots of fun

[Lokiwithrope]

Variety is the spice of death. More weapons are appreciated and I like the occasional change-of-pace. But before Bioware begins implementing more weapons, I'd really like it if Bioware would balance the currently-existing weapons in the game. There are weapons to be had to fill some positions.

Yes, there are a bunch of weapons to choose from.  Many of which I have tried a few times and haven't used since.

Maybe one for every niche but not for every level; many are underpowered imo.  See Assault Rifles.

I use the Phalanx X and the Mattock X as they work best for me and are the best I have.  However, I am so tired of having to put round after round after round into lower level enemies (even using consumables).  I have tried playing with the shotguns but my skills are not there for close combat.  Same for sniper rifles and lining up shots.

I'm just one person sharing my thoughts.  I appreciate you asking the community for our thoughts.

Cerberus Harrier , Hurricane, Reeger and Scorpion

[PSUHammer]

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
Yes...although some of the guns are worthless and never get used.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
Mattock, Carnifex, Valiant are good beginner guns.  Black Widow, Geth Shotty, Hurricane for the win.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" 
Most fun?  Hurricane for me.  In the hands of a Turian and AP ammo + marksman....watch Brutes, Ravagers and Banshees melt.

[XCPTNL]

There is a huge variety, but the problem is that most weapons just flatout suck. At least on gold. On bronze everything is totally overpowered on the other hand and even doing solo runs using 90% melee only is totall boring. On gold on the other hand you can probably only use 15% of the weapons that are available. Well technically a good player CAN use them all, it's just not very efficient.

So I'd rather see fewer weapon overall but much better balance so that the majority is actually useful in gold and only a few are not so well suited. Not the other way around like it is currently. And adding imbalanced crap like the Reegar and Krysae for people who don't have any shooting skills is not helping either - aside from making the decision to kick very easy.

As far as favourites go I don't really have one particular the favorite. I feel like some weapons are just better suited for certain characters than others so picking the right weapon to go along with a build matters a lot to me. A weapon I enjoy on one particular character might totally the wrong choice in my opinion for another. But I like all the weapons I use in combination with the character I put it on. Those are: Paladin, Claymore, Saber, Talon, Harrier, Black Widow, Wraith, Hurricane.

Good range of weaponry? Yes. Good range of VIABLE weaponry? No, not on gold.

The game over-emphasizes front-loaded high damage-per-shot weapons and headshots, with anything else coming in a distant second. And then there's melee....

I'm perfectly content to pop heads (and not just as an Infiltrator). I just wish there was a purpose to high ROF weapons like there used to be in ME2, e.g. depleting shields or taking out the trash. But in ME3, anything an AR/SMG can do, a pistol or sniper rifle can do better. And due to the fact that cover trumps mobilty, there's no advantage to taking an SMG over a shotgun for CQC situations.

Derek Hollan wrote... 
"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

Carnifex.

From adept to soldier to vanguard that thing will carry you from Level 1 Bronze to Level 20 gold once you get it.

The Widow and B.Widow to a lesser extent, but that's more the Infiltrator class Tactical Cloak allowing it to avoid unfavorable situations.

Derek Hollan wrote... 
"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" I am not asking which you think is the "best", only which one do you simply like to play with most of all.

The weapon I used the most would be the Carnifex, less because I "liked" it than the fact that I "disliked" being ineffective due to my choice of weaponry.

Eventually I would get sick of pistoling my way through every round and use some inferior weapon like the Crusader, the Kishock, the Revenant or a pure melee build in some non-carry role, but I did so knowing full well I was forcing my squad to pick up my slack. I love the flavor of many of these weapons, but they are poorly balanced against the current state of the game  - shouldering crippling disadvantages for insignificant situational perks. (See: Charge weapons like the Arc Pistole or Graal locked out of cover until fired.)

And if I found myself alone with the squad down and some Masochistic Weapon du Jour instead of a more reliable weapon in my hand - more often than not I would not be able to turn the match around.

[Siegdrifa]

Armoury IMO could use a wider range.
May be i'm wrong but i think only the sniping rifle have a complet range and each can be usefull depending of the build you use.
I think assault rifle and pistol doesn't cover that and only few seem effective. As exemple the carnifex is a pretty redoundant gun for any build using pistol.
Well, may be it's just my imagination, but for sniper, there is the widow, BW, vaillant, javelin, viper that i can use for specific build that make them very effective (not all infiltrator build).
For heavy pistol and rifle... i would say paladin, carnifex, mattock (i don't have saber or harrier), and yet i'm not 100% satisfied, may be 90% at best.
I feel the heavy pistol type are lacking the ME2 phalanx style: very accurate, very powerful but huge recoil and very slow fire rate.

I didn't try shotgun and smg enough to have an opinion.

My favorite weapon is the BW. I think the vaillant is actualy better for DPS but the "feeling" is weaker, like a practice rifle. I love the BW for this feeling of "magnum" sniper rifle, the sound, the recoil, the power, I actualy use the recoil to aim and time my next shot.

Yes

Mattock (wish Saber had a lower weight, feels like i'm shooting a damn tank! sounds like it too )

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

If anything there are too many weapons. Too much choice confuses people. Because of this people tend to gravitate to the weapon they think is the overall best, the krysae for example. Many really good weapons go unused. Take for example the Tempest, which in the right hands is an overpowered killing machine on gold. Yet I just read in this thread how someone thought other than the Hurrican there were no good SMGs. It as if people think because a new SMG wasn't added in the recent expansion there must not be any good ones.

Every new weapon that was added in the last expansion had a overall power creep feel too them. The only one I thought was even vaguely resonable was the Harrier, and this was because most assault rifles where underpowered and redundent. The fact that its an ultra-rare doesn't bode well for this problem.

I think there's been an attempt at it, but that it still falls a little short. The common weapons are great for beginners.The closest to a, "This weapon makes things go away just by its mere presence on the battlefield" weapon is the Krysae. I have very mixed feelings about that weapon. It makes gold easier to play because so many people use it, but it also invalidates any development of skill. Compare it too an Ultra-Rare like the Javelin, which should be the most powerful gun in the game but is practically unuseable. It offers a minor incremental damage improvement over a M98-Widow which is mostly negated by shield gate, at the cost of a charging fire rate, no second shot, and an almost unusable scope. Before the introduction of the Krysae, people who could aim used Black Widows, Valients and Paladins. Now everything has been homogenized.

I love my Paladin. It was the first Ultra-Rare I ever used and it taught me how to shoot. I'll take one on my Infiltrator every time even if it means someone with a Krysae will shred every target I shoot at.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

yes. very much so. so many weapons.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

I would like to see more weapons that cover more than one role. Take the Geth shotgun, with its spread shot for close range and straight shot for distance.  Is there an AR that can switch from semi auto to full when you need it?
What about a sidearm SMG that tears shields away in a heartbeat if charged and a regular fire mode that focuses on tearing away armor?

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" The Widow. Its ability to shoot through cover, high damage and great gold match staple.

[JaimasOfRaxis]

Wraith, but I can't get it to level up because all I'll ever get are character cards, so screw everything.

[Midou-Kun]

Every weapon has it's niche. Whether it was built for casters (light sniper rifles like Raptor and currently the best one, Viper) or it was specced to shape a player's style of play (Claymore, Krysae), there is a plethora in the arsenal to choose from to fit mostly any style. I still can't find the right build for the Incisor though. I liked that gun on ME2, sad that it's usefulness eludes on MP. SMG's could use a boost though. Other than the Hurricane, it is hard to find one that is thoroughly effective. If the ULM bug could be fixed this could be a different story since they would become the quintessential sidearm rather than a slow-firing pistol.

Favorite guns? Saber (This one still eludes me... *sadness*), Claymore, Mantis, Viper, Black Widow, Paladin, Carnifex, Mattock, Harrier and the classic Avenger.

[The Willo]

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

Assult rifles need some love, everything else has nice variety too choose from Possibly SMG's too.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

Oh yes, the starter weapons work well and don't make you feel totally underpowered untill you start unlocking the "big" guns. Except the shuriken, its bad.

As for game destroying weapons I don't think there are any that totally dominate, the krysae is fine imo I don't get what people are complaining about.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

Having a hard time with this one, theres alot of great guns. It's a three-way draw between the carnifex, n7 valiant and reegar carbine.

Yes for the most part but I wouldn't mind more.

I'd also like to see more exotic designs and sounds; something that challenges our preconciceved notions from 2012 of what a gun will look and sound like in the future. Take the Disciple for example, it looks and sounds sexy if a gun ever could but while it has a nice stagger effect sometimes, the damage is not great from my experience using it on Silver matches.

Something like that but better damage in all other guns would be nice i think.

I'd like to actually use nerf guns in game so I can shoot foam projectiles at  Banshee's as a Krogan.

I feel that people who want a 200% CD have very few suitable options outside of Heavy pistols which i think is a shame.

I agree with this since sometimes I play as a class that is more of a supprt role but I have a tough time chosing 1 weapon or a combo of weapons that gives me a 200% CD but enough firepower so I'm not in toruble if a geth pyro, hunter, or prime get's close.

I think outside of the Hurricane SMG (which i still don't have) most of the other SMG feel very lacking except for the Geth SMG .

There could be room for a melee class/weapons that maybe uses swords like the phantom has but can still carry a pistol or smg for more range and non low level troopers. Maybe add Omni tools as an actual weapons with different strength and ablities so I can make a Drell Samuari with the kick flips included.

I'll break this down by class since I don't do crazy weapon loadouts on caster classes etc etc and I don't think 1 weapon can cover all classes.

Adept: Pistols only and maybe a SMG once in awhile but I'm trying to stick to 200% CD. So mainly, Carnifex, Phalanx, Arc Pistol, and Paladin.
Soldier: Phaeston, Raptor X, Mattock, Revenant, Falcon, Claymore X , and Eviscerator X.

Engineer: See Adept but add Locust X and Geth SMG  with ULM.

Sentinel: See Soldier and Adept.

Infiltrator: Valiant IV or Black Widow VI. End of Line.

Vanguard: N/A I'm not trying to insult the dev's or anything but due to the Vanguard bug, the requirement that you have to HOST if you want to play this class, and that even though I have semi decent speed internet but I'm not sure how good it is to host. I don't really play this class at all so I have no Idea what the optimum or best weapon loadout is for it or try to experiment with it. 

If I had to only pick one I'd have to have a Black Widow X.

I do think the Arc Pistol is underrated since you can use it on a QFE and charge it to help destroy shields and then use Incinerate and/or Cyro Blast to finish off enemies or help your teammates strip that atlas of their shields.

[hotpocketgimme]

On the Striker: on bronze it feels overpowered to me, on silver it is just about right, and on gold it seems feebe and weak.

How to address and fix that is a great question, beyond making it scale on difficulty.  But for gold it is not a good choice and that saddens me because I love it on silver and want to love it on gold as well.

[Ogrinash]

1. Yes, there's lots of variety, and there's also a weapon in most categories that can behave like one from another, i.e., Indra, Crusader, Talon, GPS, and whatnot.

2. Yes, apart from how most of the high ROF weapons are nullified via the damage reduction of Gold. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the DR from Silver and Gold; other weapons aren't really affected by this, but it makes the SMGs and ARs viable no matter the difficulty.

3. It's either Graal or Kishock. I find them to be a great change from the usual small projectile shooters, and they're also viable on all difficulties.

[Antaresss]

I've tried every single weapon, except the Harrier. I can't say I have just 1 favorite so I will sort them like this:
Most favorite: Javelin, Reegar
Very favorite: Widow, Valiant, Claymore, Revenant
Favorite:Saber, Carnifex, GPSMG, Mattock

[Felhammer]

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
Yes.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
For the most part, yes. Automatics could use some love, as many people have stated already.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"
Recently I've found myself using the Wraith a lot. It's a nice change of pace from the Claymore and Graal, just wish the fire rate was faster since it seems more efficient to fire once then reload. :\\

Yes, too many in some cases because there are times when some weapons are clearing out classed by others and they all are vying for the same role.

Yes, most definely.
