    For those of us old enoug to remember Contra.....

    I was playing Contra and Super Contra on Nesticle and got to thinking about which gun is/was my favorite. Well, I think we'll have about 75% of people say the spread gun is easily their favorite, so I expanded the options a bit and didn't make the spread gun an option by itself.

    Laser - Strongest by far, slowest by far.
    Flame - Wide range, but pretty slow, although faster than the laser.
    Machine - Nice being able to just hold the button down to shoot constantly and it's pretty fast.
    Spread - Very wide range, little effort needed, up close it's very strong.
    Regular Gun - Fast, but not very powerful.

    My favorite is obviously the spread gun, followed by the machine gun. Yeah, I'm lazy.

    I'm a purist. I don't pick up any power-ups. Hence, the regular is my favorite.

    Machine. My thumbs started to hurt thanks to the 80s plastic controller so having that power up helped.
