It's not very good, imo. It's a shotgun, so it's terribly slow. It shoots four (not five, FOUR)flaming bullets (same slow-moving bullets a Flame Visit uses), and enemies can easily run by them in Ultimate. It cannot be grinded, so it's power stays relatively low. It cannot have stats since it's an enemy weapon. A semi-common Final Impact is both easier to find and more effective as a weapon (especially with stats). The Baranz Launcher is more for looks than anything else.

Actually, it is grindable. I have one on my Ramarl. But yeah, there are better weapons out there...spread needle for example.

You're right, it does grind. I've had mine for months and I could have sworn I tried to grind it before. *Scratches head.* Anyway, I test grinded it and it maxed at +30. I still don't think it's a very good weapon due to only having four slow bullets, but it does have Charge as a special so it can do some decent damage. Its stats are as follows...

req: 181 ATA
ATP: 240 + 30x2 = 300
ATA: 40
special: Charge
rating: 10-star

Well, it's like an anti-boss weapon I guess then. It is charge after all, so imagine what a high level ranger with 100k to do to Barbra Ray or something.
