Minishark. Rapid firing and ammo saver passive plus Jungle Armor I believe at the time also granted even more ammo saving :)

Buy it from the Gun Dealer!

Necro armor is the ranger armor and Jungle is now the caster armor.

Ah thanks, knew I had something wrong when I typed that out!

Night's Edge. Aesthetically pleasing, highly lethal and pretty much the best pre-HM melee weapon. You combine all the other best pre-HM swords to get it, this is pre-Hard's Excalibur. And you should keep yours, too. Once Hardmode is unlocked, it can be combined with a Broken Hero sword to become True Night, which is one of the most powerful swords in the game-boasting over 100 damage per hit and striking twice per click.

Other favourites? Laser Rifle. An uncommon drop from Wall Of Flesh, it's an amped-up Space Gun shaped like an M41 Pulse Rifle from Aliens. Fires a fairly strong piercing projectile and uses mana as it's ammo source. Highly effective Bloodmoon ordinance, looks cool, and with 40+ damage per shot it's still OK in early hardmode until you can upgrade to an SDMG or Heat Ray.

Flare Gun. Not much of a weapon, but still one of the most useful things in the game. Fires a projectile flare, a long-lasting, sticky, waterproof, high-power lightsource that can also-set enemies on fire. Dismally ineffective as a weapon, but great for exploring and it's able to stick a light to flying enemies isn't to be underestimated if you're a ranged fighter like me. Find it in general chests, off enemies, and anywhere you can get Torches as rarish spawn. Flares cost the same as a torch and are sold by the Merchant.

Bee Gun. In the words of Homer Simpson: "AAAARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shoots a stream of vicious Killer Bees at a low mana cost. Infinite ammo, a broad firing spread and respectable damage makes it ideal zombie control. Not sure where these spawn-I killed a Mediumcore all-items user for mine. I know it's pre hardmode, but that's about all I know given I took mine from a corpse.

Phoenix Blaster.

It's got a satisfying shot sound, it's fairly fast and it's damage is nice.

Crafted by combining a Handgun (Found in the Dungeon) with Hellstone Bars.

Flamarang is one of my favourites, as well as the harpoon and the Space Gun (With full meteor armour).

I'm also a big fan of the Pheonix. It's a fantastic gun, and they've added a hardmode variant with 1.2-the Venus Magnum. It's essentially just an upgraded Phoenix-faster firing more damage-it's made with Clorophyte from memory-mine gives about a few hundred damage/shot with Shroomite gear and Venom rounds.

Molten Fury is another of my favourite pre-hardmode weapons. Hellstone bars from memory, it's highly accurate, hits hard, and from memory it launches a fire arrow by default, regardless of actual arrow type. I don't remember exactly-haven't used one for a very long time.

ok,ok, stop twisting my arm.
Dark Lance
I love the knockback on "Pole" weapons.
You get it in a shadow chest in the underworld.

Thanks XD

FYI, Venus Magnum can only be got as a drop from Plantera; and the Laser Rifle technically is -not- pre-hardmode, since killing the Wall of Flesh that drops it is what triggers hardmode in the first place.
But yeah...

Demon Scythe
High power, multiple enemy piercing, and the acceleration period is a good deterrent for those enemies inclined to follow you.
It's a 1-in-50 drop from regular demons in the underworld.

Also:
Phaseblade
It's a freaking lightsaber, and therefore just plain cool. And you could upgrade it in hardmode to the Phasesaber, which is pretty much just doubled damage.
You craft that out of meteorite and 10 of a gem of your choice for color.

This is all IMO

Mage:
Flamelash/ Magic Missile
It Shoot freakin Missiles/balls of fire.
you get it from Underworld and Dungeon. (respectively)

Ranger:
Phoenix Blaster
The art on it is pretty nice (after 1.2) and does good amount of damage.
You get the pistol from the dungeon and you craft it with psitol and some hellstone.

Knight/ Warrior
Knight Edge
its a good weapon EVEN in hard mode.
You have to craft mutiple swords at a demon altar.

Snowball Cannon
I like it due to it being a snow biome weapon that seems unique and fun to use in the beginning of the game.
This weapon can be found in a ice chest in the Snow Biome

[Vupperware]

godly ice boomerang. IT GLOWS!
