The basic template will be blaster Catalysts, or artillery fit Thrashers.  Two sample fits using cheap Meta modules are shown below. Tech 2 fits look essentially the same, with all guns and damage modifiers upgraded to T2 variants for a substantial boost to DPS

Knowing how to gank in the T1 Catalyst above is benefitted by knowing the capabilities of the ship. It an optimal range of 1.4km, and falls off to half damage at approximately 5km at maximum skills. The goal is to get as close as possible and to engage before the target warps off, this is best done by utilizing a friend or an alt in a ship that can provide a warp-in, either via a probe scan or by approaching the target, and then having the gank catalyst warp to the friend or alt in fleet. Every meter you can get closer to the target, the more damage you'll do before [[CONCORD]] destroys you. When you're at a close enough range, approach the target, activate your warp disruptor, then your guns and webifier immediately after.
As for a strategy for the above Thrasher, the main benefit for the Thrasher is it's much higher alpha strike and range in contrast to it's much lower overall DPS. It has an optimal range of approx 9.4km and falls off to half damage at approximately 16km. The goal with the Thrasher is to first make sure you're within range, and then to minimize the transversal to the target you're shooting if it's a smaller target- this is best done by stopping your ship for a couple seconds before firing on the target. Thrashers excel at killing capsules, ventures, shuttles (including leopards) and other ships that a Catalyst cannot deal with due to it's low range. A benefit to a Thrasher is it's ability to select damage, if you aren't sure what to shoot EMP tends to be the best ammo for most targets you'd want to shoot.
In general for suicide ganking, you don't need to bring that much ammo since you're going to end up dead anyway, just enough has been added into the cargohold of the above ships to ensure that you have plenty before [[CONCORD]] arrives.
