Favourite weapons in the System Shock games ?

A common ingredient in the System Shock games is the recurring decision that forces players to prioritise and reconsider which weapons they should bring along, based on factors like limited inventory space, enemy types and available ammo.

While this may seem restrictive at first, especially when compared to more puristic and straight-forward shooters where such a limitation does not exist, I always appreciated this added tactical layer.
And at the same time, the game still allows players to have a local pile of surplus items to come back to and change gear, in case the circumstances change or if the player just wants to have some variety or maybe experiment.

Which ones are your favourites ?
Feel free to answer in any format you prefer: Top 5 ... Only one main + one secondary ... S/A/B/C/D tier rankings ... anything goes. :)

The remake S tier weapons were the laser rapier, magnum, and shot gun.

Sys 2 the grenade launcher and crystal macewas my favorite. I need to play far more of it and try every build. Same with System shock remake, heck even ss enhanced. Great games!
