Simple enough question. Of the available weapons, which should I be giving to my squadmates ?
The wiki does have some advice, but I'd like to know if anyone disagrees.
Heavy Pistols

Due to its faster rate of fire, the Predator is still the best weapon for Jacob and Jack, who lack a rapid-fire weapon. For most other squadmates the Carnifex is preferred for its improved damage output
That seems simple enough. With the Phalanx being a bad choice for squadmates even if I did own the Firepower pack.
SMG
This weapon is very effective on squadmates, particularly prior to acquiring the Locust - they do not suffer accuracy reductions due to recoil, allowing them to land virtually every shot. In addition, the burst fire of the Shuriken forces your squad to drop back into cover more frequently, keeping them alive longer on higher difficulty levels.
Squadmates do not suffer from accuracy-related issues, making this weapon a better SMG choice for them.
Because squadmates operate better with the Tempest than the Locust, it is recommended that you keep the Locust for Shepard while equipping the Tempest on squadmates.
So use the Tempest on squadmates when I can, otherwise use the Locust.
Shotguns
The M-22 renders the M-23 Katana obsolete, even with its lower thermal clip capacity.
The Scimitar's high rate of fire and increased ammo capacity give it a greater DPS than any other shotgun, even against armor.
For Grunt it may be a better idea to use the M-22 Eviscerator Shotgun over the M-300 because the Eviscerator has a longer range and has similar damage rate. Grunt may deal more damage with the M-22 in certain situations than he would with the M-300 because squad members tend to shoot shotguns at a longer range than a player would, and tend to shoot more often with weapons that possess a larger clip and higher rate of fire than weapons with a lower fire rate and clip size.
Evicerator as soon as I can equip it. But I'm not sure what to do when the Scimitar becomes available, or if Grunt should get the Claymore.
Assault Rifles
This is usually the best weapon for any teammate that can use assault rifles as they are very accurate with it and deal high damage even with the 45% decrease. The low ammo doesn't affect teammates. It's good for teammates who are providing suppressive fire. Despite the issues associated with burst-fire, they still fire frequently.
The M-96 Mattock makes the Vindicator slightly obsolete; it has a much higher fire rate and fulfills the same role of tactical mid-to-long range combat. The Vindicator is still a good gun considering that its lower rate of fire makes it easier to make shots count- as opposed to spamming the trigger, which wastes ammo.
It sounds like the Mattock might be the best option if I owned the Firepower pack. But I don't, so the Vindicator beats other assault rifles.
Sniper Rifles
These I have no clue about.
