But then aren't you just as bad as the "noob" in the other Banshee? Are they really a "noob" if the only way you could kill them was with their same "noobish" tool?
I like using the Banshee. Yes, I said it. And it seems that whenever someone gets ticked off because I keep killing them, they will call me a noob. Standard procedure, right? Then, some of them will grab a Banshee and try to kill me. If they fail, they call me a noob for using the Banshee.
I keep thinking this to myself "Then what are you when you get into the Banshee and try and kill me? You're using one too". Do people not realize the implications of their actions?

I disagree. I think that weapons (and vehicles) can be misused, at least from my perspective. However, what I mean by misusing a weapon and/or vehicle is that the weapon and/or vehicle is not being used in the way that it is most effective. Although things tend to be able to balance themselves out, some weapons and vehicles just aren't designed for certain uses.
For example, would the Flamethrower make a good anti-Banshee weapon? Most likely not. Could it be used as an anti-Banshee weapon? Yes. Would it be very effective? Most likely not. The Flamethrower's best use (from my perspective) is as an anti-infantry weapon, not anti-Banshee.

These weapons are the ones I find the best for taking out Banshees, combined with dodging and jumping for evasion purposes. When combined with the occasional grenade(s), the combinations become even better.
As a minor note, however, I find that the Sniper Rifle is not particularly effective at Banshees unless at extreme ranges (at which the pistol cannot reach and make reasonable numbers of hits).
