    My favorite personally is the pig with dynamite strapped to it's back, mainly cause of the hilarity of firing a pig out of a grenade launcher.

    What be your's?

    Bouncy plasma. Makes exploring caves easier since provides light AND damage for any monsters lurking in there

    (Replying to Jonsey, i don't know how to reply properly)

    Bullet type's as in which projectile type is on the gun when you find it

    Oh, that makes sense. I've been a little out of the loop, and I thought I'd missed the addition of some new weapon customization mechanic.

    I like the sticky plasma shots, they're the best torches ever! For actual fighting, I like explosive rounds or clusterbomb grenades.

    I still hold out hope that Starbound implements bullet trains as an enhanced version of the skyrail system.

    Yes, I'm dreading the stable update if only because that mod will no longer work and I have zero clue on how to get it to work.

    If you are saying that that is from a mod, i did mean vanilla ones, but okay

    Bacon Bomber all the way. It's great for methodically clearing out pesky guards from behind a barrier.

    I'm going to regret this, damn my curiosity, but please explain just what the Bacon Bomber looks like and how it operates.

    It's the grenade launcher that fires little piggies with dynamite strapped to them. They crawl along the ground and eventually kaboom.

    I found another one that I think launches exploding chickens too. I'll re-test it, I stored it away.

    I've obviously have not been playing enough but... Sticky plasma is my top favorite weapon. But in lieu of that, a simple flame thrower is always useful.

    I prefer high velocity ones. Those red tubes.

    There's a "sticky" plasma one I like too. It shoots a plasma ball in a straight light, lightning up everything, sticks to the surface for some seconds and then it blasts.

    My opinion echoes the ones in the comments. Sticky plasma is definitely the best, especially if you have the shotgun version so it fires like six of them. The only downside is the awful noise it makes.

    Also there's this bullet type I've been curious about for a while. When it comes out of the chamber it goes slow, but after a couple seconds it speeds up to bullet speed. This seems terribly inefficient and inaccurate. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and/or have any idea what it's use is?

    I have a shotgun with the "slow" bullets... It is very useful for close quarters area of denial tactics. Shoot 3xs, walk away, the mobs run right into the wall of bullets.

    Personally, I like the "rubber" bullet type that i can bounce around corners. The plasma.just doesn't have the range i want.
    Though i do love my 4k damage plasma sniper riffle :)
