It was annoying how firing a single shot with a sniper rifle tended to put you into cooldown mode immediately, but that was a way to achieve a certain pace in combat. Naturally this created some heat from the friction, so guns needed to cool off after being fired, while they had virtually infinite ammunition. Instead they contained a block of matter that got teeny, tiny bits sliced off and launched using mass effect fields so a bit the size of a grain of sand could impact like a slug. So letвЂ™s dive into this mess and see how far вЂtoo farвЂ™ will take us.Д®veryone who played the first Mass Effect probably remember that guns didnвЂ™t have ammo clips. Now I will state up front that I largely understand the gameplay reasons for thermal clips, I just wish they had been better explained in-canon as well. I have a bit of history with the military, and either way stuff like this has a tendency to fascinate me.

Now that the Spoiler Warning crew have completed their playthrough of Mass Effect 3 I have gotten into a bit of a contemplative mood.В I was watching SmudboyвЂ™sВ analysis of the entirety of Mass Effect 3 in regards to its faults and flaws, and though he didnвЂ™t touch on them directly (he might have in other videos IвЂ™ve yet to watch) it led me down the path of thinking about thermal clips.
