Bad idea. But the infinite ammo was worth it. I love the concussion rifle, I loved the electromagnetic bayonet and everything about it. tbh I used the pistol/vibroblade for just about everything the first time(and most times), only using other weapons when the game pretty much tells you to use them(the GL 1-hit KO on supers was hard to ignore until I learned how to 2-3 hit kill them with the vibroblade...) just to tell what they were used for so I knew what to order the team to use... but the shotty... they told me it was inefficient.... the melee strike looks like 1 hell of an epic slap in the face... and so I love it. The shotty is very efficient. Also fun too. Some crazy guy comes running at you blade in hand and you whip it out and fire a shot that knocks his sad little face down the stairs...good times. Just don't use it on droids though, unless you're going up against the frail ones who you'd be better off clubbing, it's a bad idea. It's like using the Trandoshan SMG, which by the way sucked.

I used the pistol most of the time since 360 rounds with that high a fire rate means I'll be eating ammo every second and I can't let that happen. Plus, why bother with the assault rifle when the pistol does the job in less rounds, and doesn't have ammo issues? My preferred DC-17 combo was the grenade launcher attachment though. Lack of ammo aside, it make life easy when I needed to have heads roll and fast.

I toted around a launcher whenever possible. And never used it unless it was appropriate. My favored grenades were the sonic detonators. Boom. Scorch may have been the demolitions man, but I was The Demoliton Man.
