PPG stands for Portable Plasma Gun, while APW stands for Anti-Personnel
Weapon (standard issue rifle for Power Armored troops).  Chances are, if
the
U.N. troopers are in Light Power Armor, that "IPW" is really "APW".  I
don't
think they are all issued Plasma Guns (see the Infantry Weapon
Technology
section on page 28).
