Well, 
     As much as I am enjoying the tech debate,
one needs to consider the political background to 
see IF ANY weapon is available to the colonist.
     The ESU would allow NO weapons outside of the 
partys control, the number of colonists that die
is of no importance as long as control is maintained.
     FSE, NAC, and NSL would be only slightly more
willing to allow colonists to have weapons.   
     An FCT or Dutch colony would be armed to the
teeth. (Comparitively speaking)

Bye for now,
