you mean the weaponer from recent issues of GLC? he'd do extremely well... heck, he'd likely even take some, imo (assuming he is equipped with his white-energy-channeling hammer/shield.)
the guy simultaneously owned ganthet, kyle, john, sora, boodikka, soranik, and hannu with a good deal of ease. that's something even surfer would be hard-pressed to do, me thinks.
^ That does nothing but demonstrate how powerful Sinestro has been portrayed as of late. Like I said above, The Weaponer owned very noteworthy Lanterns (including friggin' Ganthet) with the utmost of ease, then Sinestro strolls up and beats him..? Yeah, Sinestro has been dipped in a vat of pure awesomesauce. Nuff said. Surfer beating him in his current 'state' is VERY iffy.
Anywho, that doesn't diminish anything The Weaponer did beforehand.

Likely so. Even Sinestro was amazed that he was able to channel the white light into his weapons.
But if you look at the actual battle, The Weaponer didn't beat the Lanterns by catching them off guard. He beat them because his weapons were simply more powerful than theirs (hence why his attacks were capable of negating/shattering anything the GL's used against him.) Furthermore, Sinestro also had no idea what The Weaponers weapons were capable of, yet he still beat him quite swiftly (the first time.) Like I said, lately Sinestro has been forged of pure win.

I took it as he simply was prepped with the right tools to beat most GL's, namely his ability to configure the perfect weapon for the combat situation. But I guess its tomato tomatoe in either case so no biggie.
yeh, i chalked it up to his ability to adapt to the emotional spectrum and having knowledge of the energies and being a power ring designer with specific tools and abilities to counter act them.
i dont know if i would say he could do the same to Surfer and his Power Cosmic
Do you think the white light can only be used against ring-wielders? No. Lanterns were simply the only beings The Weaponer bothered to pick a fight with, therefore we only saw his weaponry used against them.
But make no mistake, his weapons would work just as well against anyone else. There's no reason to think otherwise. That'd be like saying Sinestro's ring would be ineffectual against Superman, just because he [Supes] doesn't have a power ring. No bueno.
