The tempest SMG takes down geth quicker than the GPR does.
I agree, smg is the best for shields. Soldiers dont have it though.

Yeah I know, was just continuing to riff on my reasoning for not being partial to assault rifles on the other classes. The tempest provides pretty high dps while giving you a large enough clip to actually spray and stagger enemies. The GPR and Avenger aren't really upgrades in any significant way other than accuracy (which is better served by the viper any way) and the vindicator is far more potent (AR allows you to stretch the ammo) on soldiers.

One clip of Shuriken fired full-auto by manual tapping actually deals more damage than Tempest in the same time. But the Tempest can fire for longer.

with my soldier build I like the avenger and the mantis sniper rifle instead of the viper for that reason. The viper is very nice but with an AR seems redundant especially with vindicator. The mantis sniper has a good punch which i use against bosses. Im sure the viper does better vs mantis and AR. But since I would be "stuck" with an AR its nice to have a different gun like the mantis in my repoitoire

Tried comparing the Tempest and the GPR on Tali's loyalty mish for performance against Shields. Close up, the Tempest is better for both Shields and Health. At medium range, its accuracy just goes all to hell unless you pulse it, and if you do, you lose DPS. For spraying at medium range against Shields and Barrier, GPR is actually fairly okay. Not as good as Vindicator if you're a headshot-meister and can pulse effectively to bring up the ROF, but fairly effective and easy to use.
It's definitely good enough to get you through Insanity, at least. Anything beyond that is really just vanity.

Good points. Though you don't need headshots with the vindicator, it's still a lot better than any rifle or SMG besides the Revenant.

I like the GPR - it's one of the few weapons in the Mass Effect series that actually looks,feels and sounds futuristic. Sniper rifles, SMG, AR, Shotgun, and Pistol all feel too contemporary for my Sci-fi tastes.

I don't know, the Tempest in particularly feels very futuristic to me. Reminds of a Lawgiver from the Judge Dredd comics.
