Squall's Gunblades
Rinoa's Blaster Edges
Zell's Gloves
Quistis's Whips
Selphie's Nunchaku
Irvine's Shotguns
Laguna's Machine Gun
Kiros's Katar
Ward's Harpoon
Technically that harpoon is a pretty impressive weapon. You throw that at someone in real life and you're far more likely to kill them than you would be if you had a number of the other weapons.
I went with Rinoa's weapon because I never quite liked it, but really I find all weapons in FFVIII to be okay once you get past the fact that this is a Final Fantasy game.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
All of them are dumb except for the gunblade.
Selphies Nunchuks. Just because it bugs me how short the chain is but it seems to stretch for miles when you use it to attack an enemy.
What about Edea and her magical Sorceress blast attack?

But really, people. If you aren't picking the harpoon then I don't know what to say about you. HE HAS TO RUN AFTER IT TO RETRIEVE IT! "Excuse me, Mr. Monster, but may I get that harpoon I just lunged @ you?"
Unless you're Ward, in which case you'll say:
".. ........ .. ............. .. . ...... ...?"
Weapons don't even matter in the FFVIII universe because all you gotta do is spam summons to win
But yeah Wards harpoon is silly and I can imagine someones face getting slashed if they were to try and use Rinoa's blaster edge in real life xD
I really liked all of these weapons as a point of diversity. We've all played the (great) RPGs where out of the 8 party members you have, 5 of them wield variations of swords. It was refreshing.
Though I'll definitely say the "pinwheel" has the least bang for its buck in terms of sound effects and feeling like you actually do damage. Honestly when I first heard the name I thought it was a variation of this:
I can understand the Harpoon as a weapon even if it's stupid he has to run past the enemy to yank it out of the ground. I just never understood what Rinoa's weapon was supposed to be based off its design.
what! the excalpur is better than these?
I very much want to do this.
Also, Rinoa's weapon I guess. I particularly like when she shoots her dog out of the weapon.
Gunblade is quite dumb choice for battle, I'd say.
uncomfortable grip, will made bad swing and bad aim.
I can see now why there's only 2 gunblade specialist in the world.
It's a boomerang. They just added a launcher/gun thingie to it. Similar to the gunblade.

He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Tough choice between Rinoa's Blaster Edge or Ward's Harpoon, and I can tell by the voting results, majority of everyone had the same ordeal in mind. I chose Ward's weapon overall because it sure, it looks heavy and like it's ready to deal serious HP, but that whole running to recover it thing is just ridiculous. Not to mention, whenever Laguna followed his attack with his Machine Gun, I could swear Ward gets shot upon recovering it. Haha...I don't know. Somehow I can picture that in worse case scenario for Rinoa, if her weapon should get lodged into a beast, at least she has Angelo to recover it for her, or maybe even use magic until the enemy is dead. :P. I just don't think the Harpoon is a great choice and most of you all agree, according to the votes.
None! They're all fantastic.
In fairness to Ward's harpoon, practicality isn't something I actively seek out in a fantasy setting.
