Do we have to pick just one
 Seriously though I'm a jack of all trades... not great in any of them but pretty good in all. Is that bad? |

Rifles.
I'm good with the pistol and able with the shotgun but the queen of the battlefield is the rifle. |

recently, pistol and shotgun are what I've been training on. Hard to do rifle when you live in an urban area...

Yes. The purpose of the exercise it to pick ONE. When put in a stress situation, you are not gonna be 100% with every type of weapon you pick up. I feel safe in sayin you will shoot one better than the others.

To be fair then I picked handguns since due the the limited distance of the range I goto I shoot them the most. |

Depends on the situation.
I am good with a shotty, but if it is over 30 yds I'll go with my rifle. (Any nonCQB situation) and I am damn near useless with a Pistol. So I am going with rifle. |

I enjoy shooting rifles better, but can't see very well.
Shotgun shooting is fun, but gets old after 45 minutes to an hour. Pistol shooting is fun, when you practice on something more than just paper. But, I'm best with a rifle. |

Handgun and scattergun will work for me long enough to get my hands on a rifle.

As a former infantryman, I ALWAYS think of the rifle when I think "firearm"
Pistols are neat and all, and shotguns are great for hunting pheasant (or maybe clearing trenches), but the rifle is what I feel comfortable with, and what I feel I can handle ANY situation with. |

Rifle. Handguns are better than nothing, and shotguns are perfect for snakes in the yard, but when was the last time a major military decided on either a pistol or shotgun as the primary issue weapon? Why exactly do you think that is? It is because a rifle is far more verstaile than either a shotgun or a pistol.
Hand guns are great for close shots, and often shotguns are even better, but when the ranges go over a hundred yards a shotgun or hand gun are nearly useless, once you get to two hundred you may as well be throwing rocks. Plus Shotguns are just don't hold enough ammo, six to eight shells in most pumps, maybe twelve in a high speed combat auto loader. |

Hey, you said we could only choose one, you didn't say what criteria we had to use to make that choice. Rifle is the only correct answer. Who the F takes a pistol when they can have a long arm? |
