User blog comment:Tiredman2/What is your weapon of choice?/@comment-4488673-20120824172259

Despite playing through ME2 and ME3 for the first time as a Sentinel (nope, didn't have the first game), I love using sniper rifles. It was my ME2 weapon specialization, and I used the Mantis all the time. I stuck with the Mantis in ME3 until I got the Widow on Thessia (I had no access to N7 weapons). You have to reload after each shot, but I find its ability to do impressive damage very satisfying. Full upgraded, its weight is tolerable, too. I considered using the Black Widow instead, but didn't feel like spending the credits. I have ME1 now, and plan on playing through all 3 games again, this time as an Infiltrator. I can't wait to obtain the Widow in ME2.
