In my opinion? The rifle, one handed sword and polearm are pure, unadulterated awesome. The shield is very cool, too. I'm sure a lot of Dwarf players will want that.

According to devs the gun is the only ranged weapon for this group

I prefer bows over guns mostly due to them being much quieter. I also like the more elegant look of a longbow over many of the bulky gun models. I have been using the heartstriker bow ever since xmog came out and they would have to come out with something truly amazing to make me switch. That being said BC has many of my favorite weapon and armor looks so if anything could replace my tmog, this expansion will produce it.
I am kind of tempted by that gun though. it looks kind of weird but I like it. do I like it enough to farm for gold achivs? probably not. but its still a really nice model with some nice colors and imagination behind it. I am loving a lot of the new animated weapons. As impractical as that one round shield is it practically has me drooling.

I like a lot of those weapons, but the gun isn't one of them. It just... I know this is a ridiculous point to get hung up on, especially in THIS game, but... it just doesn't look practical. The other weapons at least look like they sort of serve their purpose but there's no straight shot down a barrel for bullets to go through (the shield doesn't count as practical because I've spent most of my shield time as an elemental shaman and holy paladin where shields are just glorified offhands that you don't have to pull out to actually see).

I mean I'll probably end up wanting to go for it in the end anyway, it'll just be another thing (like the challenge mode set's bracers) that will take up an inventory slot for eternity and never actually get used, but which I'll be too frightened to vendor/disenchant/otherwise destroy :x

I'm also kind of glad that as much as I like the other weapons, I don't ABSOLUTELY 100% HAVE TO HAVE IT OMG because I'm still really torn as to whether I want to try and cough up the gold for another CM carry (or find a legit group for it) on my mage—I ADORE that set, but I HATE playing my mage. But that might change in the future, but I hate playing my mage, but I love that set and I won't be able to get it when I enjoy my mage again, but my mage is awful, but... see the problem? At least I (probably) won't be at odds with myself about doing it for alts for these weapons, haha.

I like the off-hand frill, it looks a little like a magical buckler. It won't hang 30% off of down and clip into my casters' legs. I wonder if animations on all the items happen randomly or just during particular spellcasts (which would make them less interesting for feral/guardian druids). The gun is nice, but it doesn't really feel like it would fit my dwarf. And I expect there's a lot of hunters for which a bow would be better. If they're not planning on bows right now, but how about fist weapons, daggers, or 2h axes?

ps: broken link on the gun, should be: http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/ne ... llenge.jpg

It looks like there is a bow planned for these also. Currently only a icon available:

WHY IS THE CM RANGED WEAPON A GUN?
One of our character artists is working on a bow literally as I type.
