What was your fav pre-NGE weapon?

Title says it all, not looking for elite loot weapons with stats (like NS mindfire lances), but Kash quest loot type stuff is fine.
I vote for the T-21 rifle. Being a former rifleman, it rocked the house. Being as long as any non-wookiee was tall, it looked absolutely ridiculous to run around with - I always wondered how the hell I could crawl through the grasses and sneak up on anything with that beast. Being a no-so-subtle quasi-phallic symbol of my power to lay waste to your mind bar from afar, I loved it. Yes, there were other weapons that were individually more effective in various arenas - PvE, PvP, aesthetics. But overall nothing said "come play with me" like a shiny new T-21.

Yeah, I loved my Scythe too!
And whatever that acid rifle thing was.... the DX something?
I also had an exceptional dl-44. It was uselsss but it made a great trophy.
Oh, and I loved my republic blaster that had no cert at all. My crafters used it alot
My favorite pre-CUNGE weapon was... my fists. (TKA).
C
Heh.. best weapon ever..
Commando Launcher Pistol!
No other weapon could come close for the sheer lag power of that weapons partical effects
My favorite top 3 pre cu weapons are as follows:
1.Scythe
2.DE10
3.T20
The classic flamer. Flamer thrower for me and any sword weapon... fencer animations rocked
_____
Actually, the rocket launcher and heavy laser cannon had pretty cool animations too.
I was just remembering how I used to line up 5 kunga's in a row and lay them out in a cone of fire.
Fun times!
My Acklay stun baton, man I loved that thing.
lol yea the rocket launcher had a great animation also to bad it really sucked in pvp hehe. Wow I miss the old animations.. wish they would bring them back.

I liked many but my absolute favorite ... my pikeman's vibroblade.
I enjoyed the Vibroknuckler/Flamethrower combination most of all.
My Plains Hunter, Spike.
Carbine
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
Early on, the FWG5 was my weapon of choice.
Later on, the Geonosian Sonic Pistol.

My fav was my Necrosis Nightblade 'cuz a friend looted it and kept it for me, even though someone in her group offered her millions for it. Thanks Ivey! ^_^.
Arc
Swordsmen using powerhammers.

Scythe all the way baby. Looking back I enjoyed those days more than my Elder Jedi days.

Well I tried a few different skill sets and had more than one account so it varied.
I liked a lot of pistols.. because my smuggler could do so many damage types (depending on resists).
Then I had a thing for Flamethrowers back before the flame dot nerf (cough).
The weapon I used the longest was just a really nice vibro axe. When a friend was showing off their defense stacking ability tho... I had this multi sliced LLC. It was pretty funny as I never really used it but one shotting them got quite a reaction on one special night.
Used to have a screenshot from a mission run with some crazy damage numbers.
I don't think I have "a" favorite because... there was a lot of cool weapons to be honest.
Fire spider venom enhanced mind poisons. The amount of whining they generated in tells was hilarious. My response: "bring a doctor".
Other than that... I had tons of custom weapons made, but I think I was always partial to krayt laser carbines with form-fitted stocks. Get a nice damage slice on one and the max damage could produce some pretty lethal crippling shots.
4th gen lightsabers with four 50/50 -9fc pearls were fun in PvE as well, especially with a composite clad friend tanking.
As to my favorite weapon, my scythe, of course. I loved being a Master Swordsman/Master Doc. I used to spin Mokk lairs and made millions just by doing that.
But they could cure poison and disease. Pretty easily I might add.
Also, some of the best Jedi PvP'ers I ran into were master healers. Pretty much nullified anything I could do, spider venom bedamned. Fortunately they were few and far between, with the majority of PvP Jedi not advancing far beyond spamming Wrath of Kun between bouts of /forceRun3.
Vibro-Knuckle (Or my fist) + Flamethrower (TKM/Commando FTW)
Launcher Pistol (Cool effect, super lag)

Past MMO: Way too many (P2P and F2P)
I've always played as a Trooper (Stormtrooper and later Scout Trooper). So I tended to go with weapons that lent an "Imperial Image."
Pre-CU
Stormtrooper Armor + T21 was a very good mix in appearance and actual fighting power (well, except for the ST armor's 30% resists in the Pre-CU days). The T21 until the NGE was a staple for any fighting with powerful rifles.
CU
SOE finally got it right with an E11 weapon for the CU. The E11 Mk.II Carbine looked really great and performed admirably, usually placing a narrow second to an Elite Carbine. Wearing Scout Trooper or Stormtrooper Armor with an E11 Mk.II Carbine was very symbolic of the Star Wars universe. Even better was when there were groups of players equipped like so (esp the now practically non-existent Imperial Stormtrooper RP guilds).
Like I said, I went with weapons that felt like an extension of Imperial equipment. The CU was actually a very good time to use weapons shown in the movies and still be effective. That wasn't possible as much before the CU and most definitely after the NGE.
My 3 other favorites
Scout Blaster (esp during the CU)
Rocket Launcher (Pre-CU consumeables and awesome animation)
Elite Carbine (during the CU, was narrowly the best Carbine one could carry and looked great also)
