Favourite All-Time Hitman Weapon?

So what's your favourite weapon in the Hitman series? Maybe (but unlikely) it's the classic Silverballers or the more beasty W2000? Maybe it's the Minigun or maybe you are a true Hitman with fibre wire as your favourite? Post and tell us about it here whatever your favourite may be and say why. For me it's:

Sniping: W2000
Rampage: Minigun, M60, Dual Sawn-offs
Stealth: Fibre Wire, Ballers SD
Close Range: Scalpel

Silenced Silverballer, classic Hitman weapon of choice. I like the poison syringe too, for the close quarters kills. And of course, the fully customised W2000 for the long range hits.

I'm really surprised that its the Silverballers for you guys. I mean yeah they're cool but I think there's better.

Sniper Rifle's always the best for a hitman. Nothing like feeling so cool unpacking a rifle, taking one shot, packing it, and leaving.. Oooohh deadly!

Gotta love the custom 'ballers.

But I like the TMP in Blood Money, then poison syringe, then a sniper.

Well The Ballers were the only things that kept me alive in the last mission of "Contracts" to tell you the truth

I'm really surprised that its the Silverballers for you guys. I mean yeah they're cool but I think there's better.

the reason for the Silverballer (1 not 2. if you get Dual Action and get 2, it just makes hits sloppier and you have a tendancy to use too much ammo) over other weapons is it has the best combination of useful upgrades. its concealable, like the smg, but has a scope, while the smg does not. the M4 has close to the same upgrades as the Silver, but it isnt concealable. and the W2000 has the same and better upgrades than the Silver, and its concealable in the case, but its clumsy to unpack and clumsy to weild in short range combat.

so that is basically why the Silver is the most useful and practical weapon. not that the others are not.

and actually, no, sniper rifles are not very becomming of hitmen. in fact, many real hitmen do not use sniper rifles. they really only carry a silenced pistol and thats it. thats all the guns you need as a hitman. other things like a small hidden knife, a fiber wire, or sometimes syringes like 47 has. hitmen also use items they find around them often. but hitmen are really like 47 is, using disguises and sneaking right past the target in plane sight, then poisoning their food or choking them out. but hitmen usualy are close encounter type people. its just that their targets dont know that their about to die.

I still only use Sniper Rifle when I HAVE to. The Siper Rifle is the most expensive thing to upgrade. Even if he does come out, you cant make it look like an accident. Ya know people pay more(In real) if you get up close and personal. Oh and it WAY more fun to kill them with knife/pistol.
