To answer your question- the starter lato is fine for this test, as is the lato vandal, aklato, bolto, akbolto, lex, and pretty much any pistol that isn't garbage (sicarus, furis, afuria, viper, twin vipers) Granted- you probably could complete it with a sicarus(aka suckasaurus) the full auto pistols should be avoided. Compensating for low damage by spitting out the entire clip in a second doesn't make a gun good- it makes it weak and ammo-inefficent just like the Grakata- which is the single crappiest gun in the game. This doesn't mean the best weapon for a given situation is always the most ammo-efficent or the most damaging- but a good balance between the two is often quite sufficent. The boltor is a very good rifle, as is the gorgon, neither compare to the damage of  a hek or the ammo efficency of a latron- but they're quite well balanced. You should keep this in mind as you progress.
