Semi-automatic pistol with decent damage output and accuracy. Can be fired as fast as you can pull the trigger. Weak against ARC armor plating.
Headshots only
10 to break shield, 5 for health
No headshots, 100 shield + 100 HP
Remember that the 2x headshot multiplier does NOT apply to shields. Against shielded enemies, focus on breaking the shield first (body shots are equally effective), then switch to headshots to maximize damage to their health pool.
