![]() I guess it could be a lot heavier if you're wearing one of the heavier suits in this scene, like the N7 Defender, but eh. Knights could fight in that comfortably and those guys didn't have gene mods. It's fair to assume that his armor is at least around 50 pounds it's not like that'd be impossible for a normal soldier to wear with good weight distribution, it's only slightly heavier than medieval plate. Plus 3 pounds for a helmet, 3 for combat boots, and 3 for an ACU. Adding them, as well as full body ceramic armor and whatever equipment he may be carrying, should get him to 300 pounds easily, as his upgrades were rather extensive and modern ceramic/aramid armor that only covers the torso and part of the head today is 34 pounds. *MaleShep is canonically 183 cm tall and has a heavy build, so he's probably north of 200 pounds even without the cybernetics. ![]() Putting their potential bench press at at least a metric ton if not higher.Ĭan easily lift ~400+* pounds of man, cybernetics, and equipment with one outstretched arm: ![]() So a geth trooper would be a dozen times stronger than a fit man, if they handle the Widow like a normal soldier handles a 'normal' heavy sniper rifle. This is about a dozen times greater than. Although this modified model can be carried, no ordinary human could fire it without shattering an arm.Īs I've noted many times before, the minimum recoil energy for Widow to be an arm-breaker is 375 joules. The Widow was never designed to be carried and fired by a human. While kinetic barriers offer effective protection on vehicles, the kind generated by conventional military field generators are far too weak against the Widow. Weighing in at 39 kilograms, the Widow Anti-Material Rifle is primarily used by sniper teams in assault missions against armored vehicles or krogan. Effective against armor, shields, and biotic barriers. Assuming they're RHA steel would at least give a minimum since any assault rifle with AP rounds can penetrate those easily, and certain unmodded guns can do the same.Īccurate and deadly anti-materiel rifle. I just thought, has anyone tried scaling the penetrative power of basic firearms from those bits of deployable solid cover Cerberus deploys? I remember those being fairly thick. If gameplay scaling is valid in the absence of any other info other than "it's stronger", an unmodded Avenger would be about 33% more powerful than these rifles (assuming they're high end and on par with the GPR, as the ME3 Avenger deals 48 base damage compared to the GPR's 36), while a battle rifle like the Mattock or Valkyrie would be almost three times as powerful (both deal nearly 100 base damage).ģ. Further supporting this is the fact that in gameplay the Geth Pulse Rifle goes from one of the most powerful assault rifles in ME1, only surpassed in per shot damage slightly by the Breaker, Kovalyov, and HMWA Master, to being the weakest assault rifle per shot in ME2 and ME3. It should be noted that, according to Shepard, thermal clip mass accelerator weapons are more powerful than ME1-era ones, so these rifles are likely a good bit weaker than the Avenger. To go on a tangent, this seems pretty consistent with the calcs that give ME firearms three to five times the power of their modern counterparts (Chaoswind and MJ12 both got numbers in that range), bar special exceptions like the M-98 "fuck you tank cannon" Widow. The short version is that while most wounds are hard to gauge due to being "behind the armor", what can be gauged puts their assault rifles around the power of 7.62x51mm rounds. I thought I'd link to Connor's offhand analysis of some of the battle damage inflicted by some ME1-era rifles in the books. Thankfully Drof posting parts of them means that a few of them can still be seen, like the calc of Broker throwing the table.Ģ. ![]() That seems to be the case for many pages on that forum now, so I dunno what's going on or if it will be fixed. It appears that those links I posted earlier about some of the high end feats like the Praetorian smashing a metal tower and Liara stopping a bunch of water are broken.
