The GEP gun is ironically the pro choice to make if you know what you’re doing. All of the other weapons on offer can be found in the first level, and the GEP works as a fantastic “lockpick” even if you never fire it in anger.

It's so bulky, though. I'd rather carry an auto shotgun and four other situational items. As for lockpicks:

* Lockpicks: single inventory slot, stacking; plentiful; silent

* LAMs: single inventory slot, stacking; loud

* Dragon Tooth: infinite uses; can't break down every door; silent?

* Sniper rifle: optionally silent; semi-common ammo; can't break down every door

* GEP gun: loud; bulky; semi-common ammo

It is also the pro choice for taking out your former boss.
