Bryan here, i love friendly discussions like this one (everyone's nice and polite finally! XD)

IMHO

Ronson 45: Overrated. Sure, it deals highest alpha damage, but only slightly more than a Trailblazer, without the multiplying effect of all arc weapons; considerably less damage than the DOT of poison claw, with a movement penalty, and a damage type you most likely will already be using (I.E. Hornet/Sublight. Really, the only thing good is the pierce, which you don't need that much for a pistol. Poison claw and trailblazer have a good pierce too.

Ronson 50: A sucktastic SMG, like all SMGs. Considering my flamer, Mixmaster, Sublight, and even the Ria 40, i see no reason to equip ANY SMG at all. End of story

Ronson 55: The best SMG (seriously Skyrunner check the stats) but still does significantly less damage than my mixmaster. No reason to equip it. Only thing is that it appears in Nanos even at level 100. Damn...

Ronson 65-a: Fair until you find the Striker, Raptor, Sublight, and a bunch of other weapons that are ultimately better. I've only used it in the level 10s and never further.

Ronson 70: Surprisingly decent weapon, overall balanced with slightly slower firing speed and larger movement penalty, but not bad. Still not as good as a Mixmaster, though it sure can last until you find that.

Ronson LBM: Possibly the worst LMG. Only dealing more damage than the Para, HVM and Z-tech, but much harder to use due to 6rps and huge movement penalty. Economically viable is NOT a reason for me to like it.

Ronson WP Flamethrower: Why does anyone say it sucks? My 6*** RED one got me past a lot of Nightmare matches, and my 10*** RED one is absolutely wrecking crowds. It sure isn't cheap to augment or maintain, but its power is just awesome. Check the comment i left above as well, the flames pass through walls, making it much easier to use.

So yes, Flamer IS the best Ronson Weapons, but overall Ronson is not a weapon manufacturer I like. My preference goes to the Critical Mass and Rancor. Smokestack is great but Shockfield is just too expensive to use, cannot save HD ammo and needs too much clicking.
