What's the prettiest weapon?

In your opinion, of course. What weapon or weapons do you love the look of, even if you hardly or never play them? 'Pretty' is used in its most general sense here, so just whatever aesthetically appeals to you. This can include individual variants.

In my case, aside from buckets (where I'm just a little biased), I love non-Deco (Pro) Rapid Blasters, partly because they look like they'd be lovely to hold, with their ridged barrels and a nice weight. I'm also a huge fan of the colours of the Refurbished Splatling and the Tempered Dynamo.

Heavy Splatling looks pretty badass without going over the top like the Hydra, so that gets my vote. It's a simple design based on a water cooler, but i like it still.
Blaster's flame motif at the end looks rad, even if the weapon class itself is one of my most hated ones out there.
Inkbrush and Sloshing Machine deserve a mention, too.

Heh, never thought to think of weapons in that way. Naturally my vote goes towards the L-3D for obvious reasons!

The Tempered Dynamo's colors are always my favorite, and I tend to love most of the Deco weapons.

The forge splattershot pro and dual squelchers. I love the black and yellow color scheme of the pro and the dual overal just looks awesome to me. I also really like the steam-punk look and feel of the 'o-matic family.

Every weapon I listed as my mains (look below). Funny enough, I only use weapons that I think look cool anyway.

I like the hollow glass tubing on the Splash-O-Matics, the clear containers on the Octoshot and vanilla Gals, the black/green colouration on the Hero replicas plus their curved pressure tanks, the black/white design on the Forge pro, and the fact that the Minis look like they're made from oversized Lego bricks.

Soda Slosher, just purely on how colourful and bright it is. Incidentally it also has a great sub/special set, so it has essentially become one of my favourite weapons. I also love the pen on the Splash, it looks really cool and is also a fun weapon to use. The Splattershot Pro line gets a shout out too, especially the Berry, which I don't use since I'm not a fan of the set and aren't too great with the weapon (want to get better at them though). Other than that, only the Hero Shot springs to mind, the rest are still pretty good, but don't stand out too much imo.

Gonna cast my vote for the Hero Charger. That sick green-and-black color scheme with a design that vaguely resembles a real assault rifle does it for me.
I don't use the charger myself, but it really is a sick color scheme.

I've always loved the bedazzled look of the Gal Deco weapons and it's one of the reasons that I played with the .96 Gal Deco so much. In addition, my favorite gear piece is the Octo Tee as it is a beautiful purple along with being bedazzled (I'm so glad I can reasonably fit it into my gear set with the buffs haunt received since before buffs it wasn't viable enough for me to wear).

I've since switched to the Slosher Deco which is kind of mediocre in design. Green stickers is so lame and doesn't add much to the pink on black color scheme. (at least I can still wear cool gear for style).

The Berry Pro seems popular. I love the gentle tones on that, definitely; not such a fan of the Forge Pro, though. Re:amiibo weapons - I'd almost say that I don't find any of them to be improvements over their ordinary counterparts. I love the simplicity of the classic Splat Roller, as with the Splattershot. The Hero Charger is nice, however, I agree.

I agree resoundingly with your assessment of the Octo Tee (gorgeous piece), but I just want to question that the stickers are green. Yes, I prefer the classic Slosher's look, but those are yellow, surely? I may just never have learned my colours very well, as I also get very riled up in debates about blue-green colours (which I typically confidently place into the opposite category that most others do).

Ah, I'm glad you agree on the Octo Tee as it's my favorite.
I'll admit my colorblindness and that I'm a little embarrassed for not checking with someone else which color the stickers were since I was uncertain and appear to have guessed incorrectly (should've just said stickers. Oops). In any case a bedazzled bucket would've been cooler.

So people like the weapons they're using, eh? Not me. Well, I kinda play a lot of weapons and kinda think all the weapons are fun-looking though.

I'd say my favorite is this one: :wst_charge_normalh: (which I don't even have)
And I like the look of this one: :wst_shot_expshort00: (kinda cartoon like, or something)

Oh, phew, I thought I was going crazy.

I don't agree fully. I've always preferred the plain Heavy and Gals to their bespangled variants. The chevrons borne by the bucket and Carbon work well for those cases because, whereas purplish gems can represent sturdiness and consistency, these yellow arrows work very much as 'go faster stripes', both for reasonably agile weapons (the bucket much more so since 2.7). And the stickers maintain the smooth surface of the bucket, a feature I like.

I really like how the carbon rollers look. They seem really sleek and streamlined, which fits their fast roll speed. The roller is really colorful, especially the deco version. I love how the ink canister looks like a water bottle and the small strap on the top just looks so cool.

My second favorite in terms of looks is probably the inkbrush. It's also light and sleek. Best of all, it looks totally epic when you twirl your inkling in circles.
