Player Notes

 * This is a reliable, accurate sidearm; effective versus armor, but weak versus shields and biotic barriers. This weapon, although dealing increased damage, only has 6 shots per thermal clip, and a fairly slow rate of fire. In addition, the maximum ammo count is 24, a lot less then the above M-3 Predator. Serves as the "Magnum" type pistol of Mass Effect 2.
