I have to say that my Terminus Pack weapons are my favorite, so I'm reposting them. These weapons are designed to be awesome and unique, both in the aesthetics department and how they operate.
Edited with Manufacturers.

Asari Oracle Sniper Rifle
Manufacturer: Armali Council
Type: Sniper Rifle
Fire Mode: Semi-automatic/delayed fire
Weight: 1.5 - 0.9 (Incisor)
Capacity: 4 (16 - 26 max spare ammo)
Fire Rate: 60 (Black Widow)
Damage: 460 - 575 (Saber)
Lore Description: Due to the recent advancements of kinetic barrier technology and bio-amps, sniper rifles have been decreasing in utility against shielded opponents. Rather than throw away outdated bio-amps, the Asari re-purposed them into powerful mass effect engines within their prototype Oracle Sniper Rifle.
This sniper rifle, upon pulling the trigger, creates a corridor of massless space between the target and the weapon, guided by a violent, forward thrusting mass effect field that damages enemies. During this time is when a bullet is incased within the field, but not propelled, so as to allow the biotic strike to disrupt shields. After a short delay, the bullet is propelled to the target location. If an enemy moves after the biotic strike, the mass effect corridor can be guided by the Oracle's barrel/line of sight before the bullet projects.
Notes: The Oracle's unique firing feature allows it to circumvent shield gating. Fire a "signal beam" that deals 40% of total weapon damage, then after 0.5 seconds, fires a shot that deals the other 60% damage. After the signal beam is fired, you have two options:
Manually aim the second shot, allowing you to choose where the second shot goes. Or simply unscope to allow the second shot to travel where you last scoped in. All of this uses only one bullet. Granted that one has enough damage to do so (most likely through headshots on higher difficulties), this weapon can one-shot weaker shielded enemies. Armor reduction affects both projectiles, reducing the Oracle's effectiveness against armor.

Turian Daedalos Shotgun
Manufacturer: Haliat Armory
Type: Shotgun
Fire Mode: Charged Semi-Automatic
Weight: 2.0 - 1.4 (Graal)
Capacity: 3 (9 - 18 max spare ammo)
Fire Rate: 60 (Katana)
Damage: 960 - 1200 (Charged Graal)
Accuracy: Uncharged - Raider; Charged - Graal
Lore Description: The Daedalos Assault Shotgun was designed by Armax Arsenal at the request of the turian Heirarchy. It was created to give military forces a powerful and verstile close combat weapon which could engage targets both near and far. Named in honor of the turian spirit of balance, this shotgun has a unique rifling design capable of expanding or narrowing the weapon's barrel without the use of a smart choke, giving the Daedalos incredible accuracy on demand.
In order to avoid damaging the barrel mechanism under prolonged use, the weapon is kept in a relaxed state unless required to hit a target at long range. It also gives when the weapon is discharged, returning the barrel to its relaxed state between shots. Its most common use, before the Reaper Invasion began, was in turian hastatim squads, as it excelled in urban environments.
Notes: The Daedalos is balanced in the same weight category as the Graal Spike Thrower and Geth Plasma Shotgun, with a charge mechanic which does not impact weapon damage, but rather weapon accuracy. In its default state, the accuracy is roughly equivalent to the AT-12 Raider shotgun, but when allowed to fully charge, its accuracy is comparable to the Graal Spike Thrower. This means that, though one can fire two shots in quick succession, the second shot will have a far inferior accuracy to the first. Do keep in mind that ammo is more limited to offset its powerful damage output.
Vanguards and Infiltrators will find this weapon of great use as both classes can effectively negate the downside of weapon accuracy in their own way. Infiltrators can charge the weapon and then activate Tactical Cloak, allowing for headshots at range or in close, then an immediate follow up power or shot in close range for additional damage. Vanguards can charge the weapon before using Biotic Charge and unleash two shots in the moments after impacting for maximum damage bonus. Vanguards can also benefit from the charged accuracy to when forced to hold their ground, or in situations where charging would be detrimental to survival.

Batarian Mauler Heavy Pistol
Manufacturer: Batarian State Arms
Type: Heavy Pistol
Fire Mode: Semi-Automatic
Weight: 1.25 - 0.7 (Paladin)
Capacity: 7 (56 - 66 max spare ammo)
Fire Rate: 450 (Mattock)
Damage: 114.8 - 143.5 (Phalanx)
Accuracy: Paladin
Recoil: High (Saber)
Lore Description: A tried-and-true weapon of the Batarian Hegemony, the Mauler Heavy Pistol is a sidearm worthy of its title. The Alliance's Phalanx Project is based heavily on the Mauler, as Alliance forces on Elysium faced considerable firepower during the Skyllian Blitz. Given a decade to improve on their already impressive sidearm, the Batarians hoped to launch an offensive against the humans for the events of Torfan, but the Reaper invasion has drastically changed their state of mind. Facing extinction, the Batarian Hegemony authorized the schematics to be released on the extranet, allowing anyone to manufacture it. The Blue Suns have exploited this opportunity to arm nearly every one of their members with this sidearm, giving the impression that they are the original manufacturers.
Notes: The Mauler Heavy Pistol has the highest DPS of any heavy pistol, but this requires control of its immense recoil and a fast trigger finger. Its clip size is also very limiting, as its high rate of fire allows you to use up its entire clip quickly, forcing you to reload very often. You can mitigate these various drawbacks by using a combination of appropriate weapon mods, playing as a Turian character specced for stability bonuses, pace your shots, and simply moving closer to your targets.

I'm also currently giving my Prothean Sniper Rifle a visual upgrade, so expect it to be up soon.
