Yeah, I remember that from when I played ME1 years ago on different builds. But the best sniper rifle is so OP with rail extensions and (?) snowblind rounds, might as well just use a bullet instead of opening the menu, picking an ability, targeting the enemy, etc. Maybe it's more useful to conserve ammo/heatsinks a bit in ME2 with tricks like this, aiming for environmental deaths, and so on.
