User blog:Sentry 616/Weird Contemplation (RWBY + Mass Effect 3)/weapons = another stupid blog by yours truly

I think the title can give you a good idea of what you're in for. Choosing ME weapons for RWBY characters based on their personality, current weapons, and fighting styles.

Below are the categories. I'm ignoring the weapons from ME, since the ME wiki doesn't seem to have useful material for that one in weapon description, which is what I'm mainly going off of. DLC weapons are up for grabs.

Assault Rifles

Shotguns

Sniper Rifles

Submachine Guns

Heavy Pistols

Heavy Weapons

Ruby Rose
Assault: M-99 Saber (potent, precise, high recoil, made on an individual basis]

Shotgun: M-300 Claymore (for recoil) Alternatvely an N7 Crusader (fires slugs at good ranges)

Sniper: Javelin (for actual sniping, lets you see and fire through a fair bit of cover, high damage) Black Widow (multi-shot variation of M-98 Widow, high damage)

SMG: M-12 Locust (high accuracy and range for an SMG)

Pistol: M-6 Carnifex (semi-auto, good stopping power) alternatively the ME2 M-5 Phalanx

Heavy: ML-77 Missile Launcher (long range, fairly high capacity and rate of fire)

Weiss Schnee
Assault: Particle Rifle (Elegant, precise, and a quite a gentle ranged weapon for someone who has never been seen using a firearm.)

Shotgun: Disciple (lightest shotgun, graceful, surprisingly accurate)

Sniper: M-13 Raptor (semi-auto, high capacity for a sniper, low damage for a sniper)

SMG: M-12 Locust (easy to control) M-9 Tempest (good for emergency close range spray and pray, high capacity)

Pistol: M-5 Phalanx (Not as good as the M-3 [which you get in the first mission], but if you put the laser sight back, and use the ME3 stats, it could be a good choice, basic stats, good aesthetics.)

Heavy: M-622 Avalanche (obvious reasons, might have chosen a different one, but she uses ice more than any other Dust type) alternately the M-560 Hydra or M-597 Ladon (both fire multiple guided missiles simultaneously)

Blake Belladona
Assault: M-96 Mattock

Shotgun: Disciple

Sniper: M-97 Viper or M-13 Raptor

SMG: M-4 Shuriken (compact and pistol size)

Pistol: M-11 Surppressor (stealthy) alternatively an M-3 (flexible and straight-forward)

Heavy: Collector Particle Beam (good all purpose weapon)

Yang Xiao Long
Assault: Striker Assault Rifle (automatic that fires high impact exploding slugs, might have originally been designed for the series' designated bruisers and brawlers, the Krogans)

Shotgun: Venom Shotgun (triple barrel explosive shotgun, others might work) M-300 (high recoil, quite heavy, annihilates at close range, which she prefers)

Sniper: Krysae Sniper Rifle (explosive rounds, which are supposedly armor-piercing)

SMG: Blood Pack Punisher (high power SMG, heavy, good at close range)

Pistol: (akimbo) M-358 Talon (shotgun in pistol form)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Heavy: M-451 Firestorm (flamethrower, for close range) M-920 Cain (for ranged annihilation, ME2 is the stronger one I believe and bigger too, shooots a high-ex slug, short duration, but epic destruction)
