Well, The guns seem to fire at the speed of sound, I guess since they never actually stated the minimum speed it blocks they can always add one.Arppis wrote...

Maybe a crossbow, low projectile speed to bypass shields and low sound for assassination?
I mean, with enough exposition anything is possible.
I wonder what is the "speed limit" for the kinetic barriers to stop noticing.
riiiggghhttt.... soo they did pull some vibroblade bs then. well thats good, and here i was worried the swords didnt make sense... how silly of meKleinerVance wrote...
The Codex says the swords are "Monomollecular" aka, sharpened to the thickness of one molecule.
That is unbelievably sharp. Something that sharp could slice through just about anything.

Doesn't a monomollecular blade make sense?

Well, I'm only going to speak for omni-blades here, but the codex specifically omni-blades are spontaneously fabricated by the omni-tool out of silicon carbide. Long story short, it's not the sharpness of the omni-blade that makes it dangerous but rather it's 5,000 degrees fahrenheit, and due to thermal conductivity of silicon carbide dumps that heat straight into whatever you impale.
You didn't just stab Kai Leng, you cooked him from the inside out.
That just made stabbing Kai Leng so much more statisfieing, thanks for the explenation.humes spork wrote...

A sword is too low velocity to trigger a kinetic barrier, while remaining capable of penetrating armor. Seems like a legit tactic to me.
No it's not, a normal human could never pierce modern body armor with a normal sword
Let alone the armor in Mass Effect

yeah i geuss, it would be really sharp, but wouldnt it also be really brittle along the blade? and if you notched it how would yu get it resharpened to a usable thickness? idk i guess it makes more sense than the omni-blade does

actually that raises the question, why dont the phantoms and KL just use omni-blades? they sound way more badass and devestating than a really sharp sword
Isn't this why they used swords in the Dune universe? I think so but I'm not sure. If so this is not at all unprecidented.

Because then you wouldn't be unique!
As far as I remember, Shepard seems to be the only one with an omni-blade, which he picked up somewhere between ME2 and 3.
Secret prototype? He invented it? Space Magic? Who knows where it came from.
