BRRRRAAAAGH! I BRUTALISE CHILDREN!

Laser Rifles are fine until the end of the game and Heavy Lasers are great, contrary to common opinion. No ammo needed, but even at the beginning of the game you will be fine with Plasma ammo.

Plasma weapons pack a hell of a lot of damage, but use clips. I actually don't mind this and they are accurate enough to only really need snap shots. The clips are only 1 elerium each and you should have plenty of that, really.

I prefer the more reliable Laser Rifles myself, but on the other hand a Heavy Plasma will flatten a Muton Warrior in one shot. It's your call really.
