This is Julius Visconti reporting in. It's been so long since I last spoke up. I figured that I should say something in case anyone was worrying. There's nothing wrong on on my end, thankfully. [He just went out for five months straight...on a mission he didn't even enjoy all that much.]

Anyways, let's move on. [Enough about that!!]

Today I'd like to ask about weapons. In your opinion, what's the most efficient and effective weapon?

Personally I prefer using assault guns for ranged attacks. We all come from different places so I expect to hear unique answers.

Alternatively, if you aren't armed with a weapon and wish to learn how to fight I could be of some assistance. You can meet up with me at the local trading post. That's all for now. Thanks for your time.

Well, I'd say the most effective weapon is Voltron.

But most of the people haven't heard about it.

[Most, but not all. Some have. Really annoying people have. Which makes him wish he could count them out because they might be too annoying to know about Voltron, but whatever.]

Sniper rifles.

[Short and to the point, that's her.]

Words, of course.

[ he says it like it's obvious, but he was never really one for weapons. ]

There's a mortal saying about pens being mightier than swords.

Cards, of course.

Whatever people are trained and comfortable with using. Handing someone a weapon that's more effective in your mind won't mean much if they're not comfortable with using it.

Quinques have been the standard weapon back home. They're the only things that are able to kill ghouls. [ Make of that what you will. But Julius is probably familiar with such weaponry within his own world. ]

There's various models and modes to them as well.

A baseball bat.

[ This.... is probably a weird answer, and it's about to get weirder, as much as Stiles delivers it like a completely mundane fact of life. ]

I mean, a metallic one, a wooden one is a no-go. 0/10 would recommend.

Weapons.... [Yeah, she's kind of skipping the 'welcome back' part since they already managed to catch up a bit before.]

I guess the only weapon I have is the Sword. Unless you count the cards themselves. But there's no specific long range one.

[Again, unless one counts the cards themselves and their effects as weapons.]

None.

Weapons are unreliable. [ well, hers isn't, but hers is something she can just manifest at will. Jasper's expectations of the rest of the Audentes crew are dramatically lowered in comparison. ] Utilizing them in combat is one thing. But when they fail, channeling all your strength towards their use only leaves you vulnerable. And to use them to compensate for your own weakness isn't just fatal -- it's a disgrace.

[ okay, she just worked herself into some lowkey melodrama! time to tone it down for the finish. ]

You are your own most efficient weapon. Everything else is just an extension.
