primary vs. secondary weapons
Sarin:
Laser pistols are good when you need long range sidearm, for close range engagements either plasma pistol or grab a few plasma blades.

OK, thanks. I have a bunch of guys with close combat skill and I couldn't figure out how best to upgrade them.
Sarin:
Laser pistols are great weapons for medics. While they don't have a kick to kill armored alien in one turn, they are great long range finishers. Plasma blade+laser pistol is all you need in department of backup weapons. I just use plasma pistols on laser equipped soldiers so they dont have only one damage type.
Majki-Fajki:
Today I tested minishotgun for my sniper. I found that ambshed sniper on close range is in trouble. He can kill ontrok, but MP cost is high. Quick draw of full auto tiny weapon saved me a lot of trouble.
Causley:
I usually don't change the equipment of my soldiers / the soldiers in my team according to the mission. Too lazy for that.
Thus, when the terrain seems to favor it, I let my snipers and explosves guy usually change to SMGs in early game. Later, they usually aquired enought TUs to blast the aliens with two or three close range snap-shots. Even armored ortnoks don't like that.
