The Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder 2 set (described previously) has a majority of rifle arms (with a standard laser rifle) and some slightly odd pistols.
For one of the Five Parsecs From Home crew, I wanted something more hi-tech, so had a look at the Stargrave Crew II set for usable arms. It turns out that unlike the Cannon Fodder set, the arms fit easily on the torsos. I have not tried a two handed weapon yet, so I am not certain how they would fare.
In Five Parsecs From Home, you roll randomly for the crew's equipment (based on their background) and combine the equipment into a pool that you can then dish out to meet their need.One of them has a hi-tech energy weapon and a stealth suit.
I did wonder about painting a hard edged splinter pattern, but decided that could be too effective, so went with a more blobby pattern.
