M-12 Locust

The M-12 Locust Submachine Gun is a submachine gun from Mass Effect 2.

In-Game Description
The Kassa Fabrications Model 12 Locust is a compact submachine gun developed for the Alliance but now favored by gang enforcers and hitmen. Featuring a complex recoil-reducing mechanism and high-grade autotargeting software, the Locust delivers longer-range, more accurate fire than others in its class. Kasumi refers to it as "the weapon that killed two presidents."

Acquisition
The Locust SMG can be found during the Kasumi Stolen Memory DLC. Finding the SMG is simple, while in Donovan Hock's vault, the SMG can be found beside the greybox.

when picked up kasumi wil talk about it saying that it is a very notorius gun having killed two or three presidents.

Player Notes

 * Although it has a lower clip capacity and slightly weaker damage output compared to the M-9 Tempest, the Locust makes up for these deficiencies by being more accurate at longer ranges and having virtually no muzzle climb. Because squad members tend to circumvent the accuracy issues associated with the Tempest, it is best to give them that weapon, but keep the Locust for yourself.

Trivia

 * the lack of verticle recoil and general body shape strongly resemble that of the modern day Kriss sub-machinegun. parts of both the UMP-45 and FN P-90 can be seen in this gun.
