If youve got UFO: Enemy Unkown (not the abandonia one, the older version) then Heavy Laser rules, its got good accuracy and high damage as well as having no-ammo, only problem with it was the no autofire.
On XCOM: UFO Defense and the version of Enemy Unknown Abandonia has, the Heavy Laser does truly suck as damage and accuacy has been reduced, although you dont need alien alloys to manufacture it.
Laser Rifle aint that good, Heavy Plasma actually weighs the same (i think), I give that to fodder troops though, the ones that are just there as scouts or fodder. Even if I had an excess of heavy plasma i give my fodder laser rifles as it has no ammo, and if my fodder go beserk/Mind Controlled then they dont do a lot of damage to my troops in power armour.
Also a nice hint, if your soldier is repeatedly getting panic attacked by an alien (his bravery will increase :P) that means the alien will try to mind control that soldier, just drop the ammo/gun and grenades for that trooper until you kill the alien which is panic attacking the troop.
Aliens tend to only go for one soldier to mind-control (unless there are more mind-controlling aliens)
