/meg/ - Mass Effect General

Post raifus? Favorite ability if you can't decide on your favorite gun. Or post both, who gives a shit.

Also the turians make a damn good rifle.

I love my little hand cannon

ME heavy pistols always were absurdly over-sized and over-powered weapons, even considering how much more you could do with coilgun technology. You have gigantic 2-3 kg pistols with similar punch to rifles, except lower capacity, lower effective ROF, higher recoil (because, again, pistol), and a more awkward grip. Not to mention they're more expensive than their equivalent rifles and presumably wear out quicker.

Why not just use a carbine? Other than sci-fi's leave for giant and powerful pistols of course. Not even the portability excuse flies in this universe since the guns fold up, so a carbine is just as portable as a pistol and probably doesn't weigh much more. As it stands they're only moderately more sensible weapons than pic related.

*love.

See for example: Star Wars, Halo, 40k, Star Trek, Men In Black, Fallout, etc. But ME really does take things to the next level even compared to those. There are grenade launcher pistols and fucking anti-materiel pistols.
