Soldiers: what gun/mace do you use?
Both are viable options. The advantage to the mace blast is you don't have to switch weapons between melee and ranged. But the drawback to that can be knockback. Some of the rifle attacks are -def which is always a plus. It is also to skip those ranged attacks and play like a stalker with a war mace and if you need ranged attacks pick them up in ppp.
I use this one:

On my Huntsman build because it looks like the only one capable of firing grenades. Plus I like big guns and the other two are a bit weedy in comparison.
For my Bane build, I like this mace:

Because it's simple. None of these fancy blades and whatnot. It's a big piece of metal that shoots lazers and cracks skulls. That's good enough for me.

And why?
There're only a handful of options for these (and only the banes use the mace), but I'm wondering which model people trend towards, just for curiousity's sake.
