I'm planning at least 3 weapons, possibly 4. My main will be Operative/Medic, and the weapon selection will be variable depending on my class.
Operative - Drognav LR/Hockler MP
Medic - Probably the Galactic SMG, possibly the Hockler again, or a semi-auto Pistol.
ALL weapons will be silenced, because I'm going to be focused on avoiding direct engagement as a Light character.
Drognav will have a scope I'm comfortable with, probably at least medium magnification (I'll probably experiment with the Greeneye just because I have it), and anything I can get to improve stability. Basically, I'll only pull this out once I'm in a position overlooking a primary objective, or a major fight in progress - I'll be picking my shots carefully to weaken critical targets or finish enemies who are already taking heavy damage.
I chose the Galactic because I think it's the SMG with the largest clip size (if I'm wrong, I want the one that DOES have the largest clip), and as a Light Medic, I'm not going to be about direct engagement, just spray-and-pray when I'm actually engaged - I'll be shooting more to stop enemies from following me than because I'm trying to kill them. I'll probably take a gun sling if it boosts equip speed, and possibly take it anyway if it's extra stability or accuracy. MIGHT add some ironsights, but I'll be aiming for a decent equip speed here.
The Hockler and whatever sidearm I take as a medic will probably have no mods except the silencer, keep it simple so as not to compromise on equip speed when I'm in a desperate situation. My MP will actually be treated as a primary weapon next to the Drognav - Drognav will only be used for mid - long distance engagements, and I'll stick with the Hockler when I'm moving around, so I MAY need to get duct taped or extended mags so it holds up better in prolonged combat.
