M-15 Vindicator

The M-15 Vindicator is a three-round-burst battle rifle manufactured by Elanus Risk Control Services.

It was highly accurate, and was being described as being highly effective against armor, shields, and even biotic barriers. Its thermal clip capacity allowed it to fire twenty-four rounds before being reloaded.

By the year 2185, it had come into popular usage with mercenaries and assassins.

Behind the Scenes

 * In Mass Effect 2, the M-15 Vindicator, once found, upgrades the M-8 Avenger assault rifle.
 * The M-15 Vindicator is found on a couch, very near where you meet Archangel
 * The M-15 Vindicator actually fires in three-round bursts not five.
 * A rightful improvement over M-8, with far greater accuracy and power. Offset by the low amount of ammo per Thermal clip and total carried. It is also less useful at close range than the Avenger, where fully automatic fire is more useful.
