Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Walkthrough Part 7: Weapons: Pistols and Sumbachine Guns

There are tons and tons of weapons in Mass Effect 3, all of which can be obtained in multiplayer as well as single player. This guide will cover each of the Pistols and Submachine Guns that you can receive from the Mass Effect 3 online multiplayer booster packs, providing an overview of their stats and notes where necessary.

Note: The stats (Very High, High, Medium, Low, Very Low) are based on the average stats of each type of gun, not how far they fill up the bar on the stats screen. For example, the M-5 Phalanx Pistol and the M-5 Vindicator Assault Rifle are both listed as having “Medium” stats for Fire Rate, even though all Assault Rifles fire faster than all Pistols, because both have around average firing rates for weapons of their class.
