Heavy Pistols

Mass Effect 2
Heavy pistols in Mass Effect 2 are a class of semi-automatic weapons, which have a fairly low rate of fire and limited ammunition, but do fairly high damage per shot. They are an invaluable backup weapon, effective against armor and highly accurate at mid-long ranges. Note that heavy pistols and SMGs have completely supplanted the normal pistols seen in Mass Effect. All player classes start the game able to use heavy pistols. The following squadmates in Mass Effect 2 utilize heavy pistols: Jack, Jacob, Miranda, Mordin, Tali, Kasumi, Liara and Wilson.
