Just something I've been wondering: In Wasteland 2, if I have a character with no weapon or similar combat skills, what weapon should I give her?

In Wasteland 1, automatic weapons were ideal because of the huge accuracy bonus for unloading an entire clip of ammo into the enemy, but I have a feeling Wasteland 2's mechanics are different, so what weapon would be ideal for such a character?
Explosives to throw.

The explosive weapons don't require skills, yet are expansive (and scarce).
Being honest, almost any weapon in close distance would have a poor hit rate.
You begin to have average hit rate with 3 skills points.
I wouldn't send an untrained Ranger out into the field though, that is just asking for trouble, and there are enough skill points to go around that I don't really see the benefit of skipping giving a weapon skill to someone.
