I don't actually believe the whole grain of sand thing but people on the internet always use that f--king logic. It probably stems from the fact the guns utilize a metal block inside the gun from which the round comes from. Me, I believe they fire basic rounds, though they never explain where the slugs come from when the thermal clips characters use are made to combat the overheating of weapons and not provide ammo.

Using the term Supersonic in a general form is a way to bullshit statistics. They should give us a much more identified level than just saying "supersonic" and rely on the consumer to go off the "general term". It makes identifying the lethality of the guns harder. For all we know, they could be going the minimum speed that is considered supersonic. To say you can not make such an assumption is bad advice. It is the only piece of information we can get some kind of gauging on these weapons and to make the numbers more broad makes the guns harder to gauge.

I believe in the idea of weaponry like the ones in Mass Effect is possible but without the proper information on the guns, we can only speculate and speculations are not facts.
