I think most people here on the list avoid combat when possible. But the
idea of new weapons is -as far as my characters are concerned- to
avoid combat. Use big, deadly guns when subtility is not (longer?)
neccessary. Use small, concealable, maybe even plastic weapons when
you don't want to be detected. Use whatever is neccessary.
If you stick to one given weapon, you end up too unflexible.

But you wont try to nail a nail with a screwdriver, will you?
