In the campaign I'm currently playing in, my character (a shamanish type, Barbarian/Sorcerer) uses a scimitar, but has recently taken to firing arrows of spell storing prepaired with various nastiness. Our main fighter (half oger half orc) uses a Huge Greataxe or Large Trident, depending on circumstances. The griffon-mounted ranger typically uses a longbow but has a longsword and shotsword for backup, and the druid carries around 4 shortspears.

I play a halfling rouge who uses a whip-dagger and a cleaver (dagger stats, but he's a cook...so he uses a cleaver. And no, it does not grant him cleave or great cleave (I wish...)) And he also carries a warsling.
That seems pretty exotic to me. Fun too!

longswords, greatswords, rapiers, daggers... Fair share of bows too.

Drunken Master campaign? And if so, was it the characters or the players that were having too much to drink?

In the campaigns I've played in, I've found that there has been more of a domincance of bastard swords
(there will be at least one bastard sword)
wierdest weapon used so far? has been a dead goblin.
I've personally found that my characters tend to go for a bastard sword (or two-hander) with a morning star as a backup.
Currently I've got a character who uses whips.
his backup is a spiked gauntlet.
I'm also partial to making characters who use light maces (or clubs) and nothing else. Utilising the "Throw Anything" feat from Sword and Fist has helped (at least to give a ranged attack form)

In the campaign I am currently running:
Bard - Rapier
Rogue/Fighter - Rapier
Paladin - Rapier
(BORING!)
Monk - Unarmed (of course)
Fighter - He left his village with one of his father's mining hammers. He's recently taken it to a blacksmith to have it reforged into the largest bludgeoning weapon possible. He'll probably take the Monkey Grip feat.
Sorcerer - Light Flail I think, he also has the Anything Goes Combat feat from the Net Book of Feats. Pretty interesting, a sorcerer who can pick up darn near anything and clobber you with it.
Too many rapiers. I'm bored to tears. The guy playing the fighter with the hammer was originally going to play either a bard or a fighter with a guisarme...
Everyone carries a dagger as well, for whatever needs to be trimmed, cut, anchored, punctured or killed.

Hmm.
Cleric: Longsword & shield. No ranged combat
Bbn/clr: Gnomish greataxe or halfling scimitar
Pal: longsword & shield
Elven shaman: Longbow. Sometimes scimitar
Dwarven ftr/rog/wiz: Dwarven waraxe, stone or return as throwing weapon
Elven wizard: nothing.
Halfling druid: scimitar
Halforc: Greataxe
Barbarian human: Greataxe
The first few PCs who died all had either greataxes or dwarven waraxes... go figure.

Light Crossbow, daggers, battle axe and two spellcasters with magic missile. Those are the first that popped to my mind, so I'd say they are the most common. There are others, but nothing very exotic.
