Environment-Clipping Ammo

I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but it's one that also works with some biotic powers that act like projectiles and not instant-hit powers like warp, pull or overload.

If you hide around a corner but can still see an enemy you can still shoot them, this is particularly useful against heavy mechs as they will not shoot you until the model (or body) of the enemy can see yours. They cannot shoot around corners or see you around corners like you can.

Not exactly a Cheat, but it's useful enough to use as a cheat as it also works with heavy pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifle, the collector particle beam heavy weapon, but not the other heavy weapons or sniper rifles (unless you don't aim down the sights). This also works with incinerate.
