Sooo many choices....

I guess it depends on the character. With that said...

I'm a huge fan of Bayonets, Additional Magazine and Melee Hardening.

I like the Ares Predator CW - particularly if you take the suggested errata of including the RC from Electronic Firing. It's basically a Predator IV with 1100 nuyen worth of mods, and still has 6 mod slots.

For sheer breathtaking stupidity, dual wielding monowhips in fingertip compartments. On cyber arms. Gecko tips on the monowhip weights.

AK-97, kill every motherslotter in the room except you, accept no substitutes!

And works great for the 'Runner on a budget! 

AKS-97U (AK-97 Carbine) if you want something a little bit more manageable in a cityscape to hide under your lined coat.

I find that just about every character I make has a Ruger Thunderbolt. Dunno that anything else is so concealable, with so much punch, can be modded to be completely recoil free too.

[valavaern]

why do you have red-dot AND a smartgun system?  I'm pretty sure they're not compatible.  :/

You can't have  a laser sight but you can have a red dot

Well you certainly can't have the foregrip. Under-barrel weapons preclude the use of under-barrel recoil assisting accessories or mods. Pg 153 Arsenal.
A question I always ask when these threads pop up is how do you get away with packing forbidden weapons? Do you keep it stashed in the car until you need it or what? Especially something like the alpha, which is the opposite of concealable.

Anyway, my favourite loadout is an HK-227X with gas-vent 3, personalized grip, extended magazine, sling and an auto adjusting under-barrel weight and a top mounted low-light flashlight. I like to use a heavy pistol that can be modded for easy breakdown as an every day carry. Doesn't really matter much which one as they are all pretty much the same.

Anything with the Izom Aphrodite. Tactical grenade launcher, SMG, it's the perfect assault weapon! Smartlink it, run with it.

In addition to the foregrip thing, Hip-pads are for Heavy Weapons only.

As for favourite weapons setups it depends entirely on the character I'm putting together. Most, if not all, of the games I play in either disallow or heavily nerf stick-n-shock ammo, so my choices reflect this. Unless the character actively avoids combat he/she will usually have two or three pistols for various purposes and one or two other weapons like a SMG or shotgun or something. Usually at least one of the weapons is purely a stylistic choice, like having an Ares Executive Protector or a pump action shotgun with Custom Look.

Seconded. That gun is badass.

I have always felt that a SMG with underbarrel shotgun would be a nice addition to the shadowrunner's arsenal. Shock-lock rounds to open doors, full auto to down whatever's on the other side, and more compact than an assault rifle (though there are no rules for weapon bulk. Maybe there should be?)

[cre100382]

Most of my characters are mages, so I usually have a Predator IV with Skinlink and a silencer as my main gun.  If the situtation calls for it, I carry a skinlinked Ingram as well.  I also carry a Morissey Elan for Meet-n-Greets.  I always have a knife or two on me.  I don't like looking like a mage or being as squishy.  I tend to live longer since most thugs see the Ingram and don't think Mage very often.  I leave the heavy weapons for the runners who can get the most out of them because if I am using a gun, it is because I am hiding the magic or the drek has hit the fan.

[SpatulaODoom]

In the day and age of battery powered, inte-err-Matrix connected, caseless electronic fired guns there's something I like about a big old revolver.
Take a Ruger Super Warhawk, give it a firing selection change to go semi-auto, and slap a personalized grip and laser sight on that mofo. Less than a grand for something that can easily serve as a primary weapon for a secondary combatant like your local face, hacker, or mage. No smartlink means not having to worry about someone detecting it's node or hacking it to turn the safety on. Street legal with the appropriate license. As long as you have enough dice to hit you don't have to worry about aimed shots or compensating burstfire recoil.
Simple, efficient, cheap, powerful.

My other fave is the Praetor. Get the version with electronic firing, mod it with gas vent 3 and a suppressor, and top mount a smartgun system. You've got a smexy stealthy little gun with 5 recoil comp that won't be running out of ammo any time soon.

[Csjarrat]

Have to say, I love my machine pistols as a side arm for anyone with the automatics skill.
I like the powered folding stock, personalised grip, smartgun, skinlink setup. Leaves plenty of slots free for flavouring.
Very concealable, legal and the BF/FA makes it a nice platform for getting a lot of specialist ammo downrange quickly.

Super warhawk with magnifying scope + laser has made a few appearances on low BP characters too. Take aim, fire. Take aim, fire: two bloody huge holes in something :-)
