Weapons of Choice

Hi everyone,

What I wanted to say is: Here are the weapons and you may choose one from them. Which is correct?

a. Now you can have your choices of weapon.

(I think this one means that now I've got different weapons for you to choose.)

b. Now you can have your weapons of choice.

(I think this one means that now you can have the weapons you chose earlier.)

Am I correct?

Thanks

Use "A". A: You can choose from the weapons here. B: You can have your favorite weapon.

  • (Not necessarily one that is shown) Also, "choices" means you are speaking to two people.
  • "Weapons" if they are to choose more than one weapon.

Use "A".

A: You can choose from the weapons here.

B: You can have your favorite weapon. (Not necessarily one that is shown)

Also, "choices" means you are speaking to two people. "Weapons" if they are to choose more than one weapon.

VorparAlso, "choices" means you are speaking to two people. "Weapons" if they are to choose more than one weapon.
But I thought the point is that "There are MANY weapons here, so there are MANY CHOICES for you (just one person)". That's why I used the plural. So in that case does it necessarily mean that I'm speaking to two or more people??
