1, 3, & 4: Vanu weapons don't have heat problems.

2: unknown, probably the same NC and TR.

5: They do a bit less damage, but they work equally well against all targets. That way the vanu don't have to worry about having the right type of ammo against a certain enemy.

I was wondering about that. Of course, if they use common pool weapons, they'll still need ammo -- right? RIGHT?!??

Energy weapons use energy cells, shotguns use shells, normal guns use bullets, etc.

Normal guns use normal bullets and AP (Armor Piercing) bullets.

Yeah, no overheating.
