User blog comment:The Gunsmith/So, what weapons did you actually end up using?/@comment-3325589-20120416062534

Regarding Resurgence weapons:

-I hate the Kishock. Granted, the charge-up can be useful, and it does a lot of damage, but its pathetic scope magnification and slow projectile speed make it by far and away the least accurate sniper rifle. A lot of the time it feels like more like a re-skinned shotgun than a real sniper rifle.

-I haven't gotten much use out of the Striker, but I've seen other players use it quite effectively. On the one hand, it's very good for laying down suppressing fire and quickly disposing of clusters of weak enemies. On the other, it's heavy even for an assault rifle, and its recoil is ridiculous. Even with a high level Turian soldier and a maxed stability damper, it still has a noticeable upward kick. This makes its accelerating rate of fire a dubious benefit.

-I really like the Geth Plasma SMG. It's not my favorite gun, but it's probably my favorite SMG. Its damage is low, but its rate of fire makes up for it; I think once it warms up it might even be faster than the N7 Hurricane, which already has an insane rate of fire. Plus it has high accuracy and low recoil, which sets it apart from the Hurricane and Hornet. It shreds shields and barriers very quickly, which is mostly what I use SMGs for. And it's light even for an SMG, which makes it an ideal sidearm for characters whose primary weapon is better against armor, like sniper rifles.
