Best sounding gun in the game...?

lemme get mah reading glasses... uhm... Sa... what? Cru-who now?? Pffft... A heretic I says! lemme defer you to Alfonsedode for some visual guides and some not so suttle hint on the one and only correct answer

EDIT: The mighty Raider and insidious Kishock are not far behind indeed. Them and them lovely Mantis

Don't you dare drink on a week day!!!

This is a real question?

Like a real, serious question?!

I assume this is the thread that Wraith-lovers will studiously avoid.

Remember the sound of inevitability from The Matrix? Not to be confused with the sound of inevitability from Team America. In Mass Effect that's the BOOM of the Claymore, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a damn pyjak.

Kishock and Raider make the podium though.

The thing is, many people forget that all weapons sound differently when someone uses it personally and when someone is using them while standing next to you. Wraith has a great raw sound when you're not using it yourself. So if this "contest" wants to be objective, it has to consider "both sounds". That's just my opinion

For me there can be only one winner



Shotguns:
- Claymore

Assault Rifles:
- Revenant
- Harrier
- Saber
- Typhoon

SMG Pistols:
- BPP maybe, but it's still barely

Heavy Pistols:
- Arc Pistol
- Executioner

Sniper Rifles:
- Javelin
- Kishock (thx for the reminder Grunt!)

The best sound in the game is the biotic boom.

/thread

Claymore obviously. Followed closely by Javelin.

And that is the High Lord.



Any true member of his church will tell you that.

First answer = correct answer.

ARs:
Saber, because, as mylkoo put it, the sound is very mechanic, and I love everything mechanic.
Particle Rifle, because it's just cool.
Spitfire, because oh that pshhhhpshhhh (too bad the gun itself fails to deliver most of the time).
Lancer, because good ole ME1 sound.
Revenant, because in ME2 that sound meant you owned the room.
Harrier, because that's how I know everything's gonna be alright.
SRs:
Javelin, because its sound is the best sound. No runner-ups.
Shotguns:
Claymore, because there's your perfect BANG you want.
Raider, because it's not just BANG, it's BANG BANG.
Venom, because BOOM BOOM bitches.
Reegar, because personal reasons. Don't hate me for it, although you inevitably will.
SMGs:
Blood Pack Punisher, because it sounds great, although performs not that great.
Pistols:
Arc Pistol, because if you hear it, you know there's a person with some skill on your team.
Scorpion, because it's a sound of Phantoms blowing into many small red pieces

That much is not in dispute. 

Otherwise I'm pleased to say you didn't let me down. Agent Mulder doesn't appear to be active here just now so I hope you can bear all that weight on your shoulders dude. Y'know, on your own.

It is funny though. I could never pretend to have your skills, but I regard the Wraith as requiring considerably less skill than the Claymore. Like, almost literally half as much. Two shots and lighter in weight. Skill? Pff yourself! But then I flatly refuse to attempt a Plat solo again, so we're talking about two completely different concepts I think. But this isn't about efficacy, no matter how much you're forced to try to belittle the thread topic, it's about sound. And there truly is no contest between the two guns on that front. BOOM! 

And nitrous - that was a very insightful remark about the Arc Pistol. It's like the anti-Reegar among pugs. No offence.
