IIRC, the M-97 Viper is considered an upgrade of the M-92 Mantis. Yeah, it does less damage per shot, but it's semi-auto versus single shot.
Also, as a nitpick, the Mantis, Viper, etc., were never in ME1.

Fair enough it wasn't called the mantis but since there were only 2 types of looking weapon. One typed looked like the mantis

I think they were both technically in 1 (the skins). they just named them in 2.

Even then, no, they weren't. The closest direct analogue in ME1 is the Rosenkov Volkov line. In ME2/3, the Viper is pretty much a renamed Volkov, and fits because they share the same manufacturer.

I'm 200% sure that the Mantis was in ME1, it was just called by a manufacter or line name like Avengers. Same sniper rifle, just remodeled. Different scope and barrel. What else do you think we exploded Geth heads with?
