It was just the popular thing at the time. Everyone else was using destroyers and pirahna, so the pugs did it.
It's so inaccurate and has too much recoil.
Pugs still use destroyers, but I don't see the pirahna very often anymore. It's sad.
Pirahna shouldn't have been nerfed. It's not impressive at all now.

Still a great gun though, just don't zoom in. And I still see lots of them.

I don't see the GI that often in pugs either, but that doesn't mean it's a bad character.
It's still one of the better weapons.

it's still good but it's just feels awkward to shoot only 6 shots.

I wasn't thrilled by the nerf, but it is still a viable weapon. The six shots feels awkward still, but I figure it will just be like the Paladin. I got used to it.
When it first came out, that thing was a beast. Throw the a shredder, smart choke and IA and it was pretty lethal.
EDIT: Does it still have the lower recoil when you don't zoom in? I don't mean cover vs. no cover. The Pirahna used to have better accuracy when you didn't zoom in. Not sure if they fixed it. I think the Harrier might have had the same.

I wonder what actually got the Pirhana nerfed anyways .. too many people using originally?
The original 8 shot version being used with the GI was a little ridiculous ... considering a 6 shot clip still takes down a Brute or Scion

They were using it little too much.

Bioware should have introduced it with 4 shots and buffed it to 6. Then noone would be complaining about the nerf and everyone would be happy. In the reckoning DLC (Venom, Spitfire) the devs finally understood this concept, but then they stopped the balance changes. I just don't get it....

Yeah the 6 shots feels weird but it is anything from bad. Try it on classes that have to get in close like PV, Bat Sol, Bat dept.

I actually used to run it on the Demolisher. Fun kit.

It's still plenty viable. I use it all the time on my Drell Assassin. It's meant for bosses more than anything else so I get close to the bosses on platinum/gold. I wouldn't ever use it on silver.

I wouldn`t say it is OP level.. but it sure is damn useful.
I wish the heavy mod glitch works on this weapon... imagine the glory !!

A game last night suddenly put doubt in my mind re the pirahana. It's been my go to shotgun for a while now and if I can get up close and wail away with my asari guard or edibot it works really well. However last night I had to forced solo a wave with multiple banshees and other critters. I was still fine vs the other critters but I had a horrible time (and eventually failed) against the last two banshees. I simply could not hit them enough and put out enough damage to take them down.

Free super barrel on Wraith killed the Piranha for me. Plus I like getting headshots.

You shouldn`t have problem against Banshee as long as you had smart choke on.
Also.. Stability bonus helps Piranha a lot.
Banshee has small&curvy hit box.. but Smart choke accuracy bonus is usually more than enough though.
(Unless you try to stay out of her Nova range at any cost)

Somebody needs to take the piranha for a spin on the Turian soldier.

Use barrel and smart choke, use warp ammo on a biotic character and watch things literally evaporate under fire.

Piranha is still good on GI/GE/GT/Destroyer/TSol/QM. I don't use it anymore because there is very little aiming involved, just like the lolreegar. Once you put a Claymore/Wraith on those classes and start popping heads you'll never want to go back to the Piranha.
