Lets see shall we

SMG: The M12 has the faster rate of fire and the longer range, both very important in SMG combat. I'm not sure about clip size but if it's roughly about the same then the Krogan win this edge. Edge Krogan

Assault Rifle: The Type 51 has the more deadlier rounds but they are only really that deadly in the long run. Cancer doesn't kill someone in a few seconds and it would take a while for a human to succumb to the infection from the Carbine let alone a more heavily built, more durable krogan. The Mattock is much more useful because it will kill there and then (i'm aware that the carbine can do that too but the brutes may not be as accurate with it if they think that one shot on an opponent kills them quickly) and despite having the smaller clip size is the more versatile and better at all ranges weapon. Edge Krogan

Shotgun: The Graal may much more stopping power but that's about all it has going for it. If a Bute does get hit square in the chest with a Graal slug it will undoubtably one shot him but this won't be easy with the brute constantly ducking and weaving around. The three slug magazine is also a massive problem as the Krogan will have to make every shot count and a missed shot would be a disaster. The Mauler has a much larger clip and would allow the brutes more freedom to simply blast away at the krogan's untill they manage to down it where as the Krogan would not have this freedom. Edge Brutes
