I don't know if I'd say that aliens have *better* weapons. Type 4s for aliens are better than for humans, but that's about the only definite advantage. Xand blasters are pretty reliable, but they only do about half the damage of the PCDs. Heat disks against HDPB is a strange competition; Heat disks will do about 200 damage if you fire them all at once, HDPB will do about 210 for 90% energy. Heat disks are faster, but HDPB is more powerful and it wrecks turrets. Overall, I'd say that alien weapons are more dependable, and that human weapons are the riskier but more powerful choice.
