Hmm. After a bit of thought, I'd go with the following three choices. Recognizing that weapon and venue are inextricably linked, I'll present my top three combinations.
1. Pistols with eight-shot clips inside my house with the power out on a moonless night. I know every nook and cranny of my house and routinely navigate it in the dark when I'm too lazy to turn on a light. An accurate weapon where I can fire off several shots quickly will give me a huge advantage if I have the jump on people. The cleanup afterwards would be annoying, but I'd deal with it if the stakes are high.
2. I'm built more for speed than power, so I would work better in space. However, my eyesight has declined over the years, so I'm not going to challenge anyone with sniper rifles at a distance. However, I had a lot of dynamics and physics courses back in the day, and that skill remains intact. So I would go with trebuchets at a distance of 500 yards on uneven terrain. I think I could adjust my fire faster than the average trebuchet user.
3. I got hearing aids recently, and I can turn them up to get super hearing. So I would go with shotguns in a maze that has very slightly squeaky floors. I walk somewhat lightly, so I could likely hear someone moving before they could hear me, and a shotgun is hard to miss with.
What do you think? Are my assumptions good, or am I missing something?
