Generally speaking, I refuse to use the weapons I see being most popular. Forces me to be creative and try new things, because the folks using them only think of fun as winning, and you should see their reactions and nasty messages when they don't. I don't blame them, mind you -- most kids will gravitate to such weapons and go to great lengths to get them. Let the children have their weapons. They keep us old farts from getting too cocky. It only gets pathetic when the kids are out of their 20's...
