I've actually got quite a pretty big list of weapons, in terms of favorites and yes I use em now and then. Just depends really what my playing style is, because some maps I'm just outmatched by certain styles.

My big top favorite for AR to start: AK-74M just stands out for it's similarity to the 74U, while also packing the punch the normal AK. It's flat out excellent for tap firing, or spraying someone in the face. You'll find no better weapon in the family, aside from it's cousin the AK-103 at best.

Also another favorite, the REC7 Rangers is a stand alone beast in long range battles. Sure it's similar counterpart the M417 SB can match it, not in terms of power but good controllable accuracy. Seeing it's high magnification (L9) scope compared to ACOG users, people usually run in fear or try hiding from it. Picking headshots send people into a serious rage, so why not use that for a little sniping fun?

A little known gun being it's tap firing issue is the XK-8 Tactical, given you know how to use it well it'll land headshots like you wouldn't believe. Almost kicked from CTF Snow Valley rooms, for landing so many headshots on unsuspecting players.

People start hating when you pull out a semi-auto sniper, but most beginning snipers pick either the SR25 or the L96. I've picked every sniper up and used it to the best I can, and still nothing really can match the M110 SASS in terms of pure fun. Sure I'll still pick up the M39 EMR for a little humor and pick headshots, but many people just flat out hate you with any semi/full auto rifle.

Another un-respected gun is the L115A2 being how much pure fun it is, to quick scope and land a headshot on someone trying to hide. Sure I'll admit it's not as accurate, but has a low difficulty learning curve compared to some others. You get too used to the high accuracy and this will seem inaccurate, but to most players it's still accurate when used well.

I've got more to list off, but I don't feel like talking on forever really. :P
