What are your current favorite guns? (Destiny)

TTK has been out for a while now, most of us have probably cleared the raid, we've had an iron banner... So it's time to find out what our personal preferences are for PvE and PvP weapons. Please post your favorites and why!

I'll start us off:

PvP:
Primary: Spare Change .25. Without Counterweight I don't think this gun would even be usable, but with it (and Perfect Balance and Army of One) this gun is *amazing*. Unfortunately, it's only available as a random drop from the Crucible, so you can't control whether you get one or not. I'm also leveling up a Nirwen's Mercy that I bought from Lord Salad, but I don't think it will outperform my solid Spare Change.

Secondary: The Chaperone. If it was in a vacuum, I'd prefer the Conspiracy Theory-D, but since the chaperone's buff also applies to your other weapons, it makes my spare change even more of a laser than it already was, and I'm willing to take the small hit to shotgun damage as a result. Plus I love the animation when I switch to it! This may fully change, however, since I just got an amazing shotgun from armsday. Veeeeeery intriguing roll.

Heavy: Qullim's Terminus and it's not remotely close. I got 10 (TEN) kills with it in Rumble last night without reloading. Sure a couple of those guys were banged up when I found them, but I don't care at all - no other HMG delivers the hurt like this monster, plus you never have to spend any time reloading your HMG again.

PvE:
Primary: This is part of why I made this thread... I got nothin'. I just haven't found a gun that I truly love for PvE. I like the Eyasluna, but it doesn't hold enough spare ammo. Ace of Spades is pretty cool, but takes up my exotic slot and falls down on boss fights. Jade Rabbit is functional, but not fun. Touch of Malice is fun, but dangerous to use. Hawkmoon seems to miss what should have been a perfect shot just as often as it gets a magic bullet proc for bonus damage. And so forth. Just for comfort reasons I've been running with my Spare Change .25, but ... I get bored. I'm excited for the autorifle I got from armsday today... That buzzsaw may become my new go-to, but I'm not totally sold yet. To be totally honest, I haven't purchased a Hung Jury yet, but I fully plan on doing so. It'll probably be the gun I end up using, just because I looooooove firefly.

Secondary: Depending on what I'm doing, I'll either use the Chaperone (solar), the Conspiracy Theory-D (arc) or the Omolon Eirene RR4 sniper rifle (void). I also have a Telesto which is pretty useful in a variety of situations, but the delayed explosion is not quite as satisfying as the instant gratification of the well-placed blast from the ol' Chappy.

Heavy: Qullim's Terminus is a beast. I honestly don't know why I bother carrying anything else, including my exotic sword. Oh well.
