You're gonna get a dozen opinions Thiefy. But few answers. The real question is "best for what?".

Look, these are all great blasters in their own right. But if you want to be nimble, the Stampede, RapidStrike, and HyperFire are better. If you're looking for capacity, then Vulcan, Hail-Fire, and Rhino are better. If rate-of-fire is your thing, the RapidStrike and HyperFire are far superior.

On the other hand, for sheer intimidation a Hail-Fire with four CS-35s might be the best. Throw a couple good motors and some IMRs in it, and it's a whole new level of fear.

Then there's the tactical aspect. If you're Nerf warring, Vulcan, Hail-Fire, and Rhino are typically support weapons. Stampede, RapidStrike, and HyperFire are assault weapons. Stampede is great for stealth. RS and HyperFire, not so much. So depending on your preferred role,  one of these might be particularly advantageous. Bottom line, "best" is subjective and situational.

And as far as large guns go, you totally forgot the biggest of all - the Mastodon 😉
