Weapons: The good and the bad
Let's discuss weapons that are good and weapons that are bad.

Rocket launchers: The Cluster Guided Missile Launcher is definitely the best. Fully upgraded, it can lock on to multiple targets. It is an excellent weapon to use while approaching in the helicopter; you can target a bunch of vehicles/guards and let loose, or target a single vehicle and have all the mini missiles concentrate on it. The Honey Bee, on the other hand, is far inferior. Its homing ability comes at such a huge cost to damage that I don't really feel like it is worth taking. You can upgrade it to do slightly more damage/carry more ammo, but the upgrade paths to the other unguided rocket launchers happen sooner and they tend to be more cost effective for what they do.

Honey bee is more like a mid game rocket launcher for armored soldier and walker gear, it can be used for vehicles but a non guided will be better.
You can even carry more ammo and your defense's stuff member can use it: a good reason to develop it.
I think that it wasn't meant to be an anti vehicles rocket launcher, just for choppers... and Skulls.

The carl gustav launcher is the best if you are good at leading moving targets. Only uses common metal and relatively low deployment cost.

Low grade it can multi-lock. Just when it's maxxed it locks onto gobs of targets.

The WU and the 50 cal are the only good ones.

How about pistols? I think a lot of the revolvers are sub par. There is a silenced pistol that can pierce helmets; customize it with a rank 2 supressor and you have a 1-hit-kill weapon effective at short-medium ranges. I find it very nice if you want to just go lethal on fob invasions; being careful and accurate makes the supressor last a very long time and it saves ammo/supressor of your hip/back weapons.

The grenade pistol also gets kind of obsolete when you equip underslung grenade launchers. The only real advantage of them is that you can have a shield up and use the grenade pistol at the same time.

If you're going to be noisy, the shotpistol is probably the best bet.

Why on earth are you going to need a scope on a sawed off double barrel shotgun? Kind of funny.

I was about to mention it. The best nonlethal weapon for pvp in fobs; you knock them out in 1 hit making it so easy to fulton them.

Honorable mention goes to Riot SMG, which in combination with shield has allowed me to fulton a few invaders throwing much more lethal firepower my way.
