Weapon
Description
Picture
Plasma Pistol This alien sidearm fires green bolts of superheated matter which is capable of penetrating even the thickest of armor. With a relatively high ammo capacity, this outclasses even the strongest Terran weapon. Due to Elerium-115 shortages, the use of plasma weapons has been restricted by the U.S.S.A. Obviously, the aliens have little respect for the U.S., thus these pistols are quite common among the alien scum.
Plasma Rifle This standard-issue alien weapon is quite a bit more powerful than the plasma pistol. Capable of fully-autmoatic fire, this weapon is all the more dangerous because of its high ammo capacity - at 32 shots per clip, an alien equipped with one of these could take down up to 32 troopers.
Heavy Plasma Cannon This heavy alien weapon is used mainly by the stronger alien races such as Snakemen, Mutons and Floaters. It weighs as much as a loaded rocket launcher and packs more punch, minus the explosion. In addition, it can auto-fire. Aliens carrying this weapon are a great danger to Cold Force operatives.
Alien Grenade This is the same as the terran grenade - it's two balls attached to each other. Pull the small ball off to prime the grenade, then throw it. This has a larger blast radius and more power than the standard grenade. ALIENG~1.JPG (4768 bytes)
Blaster Launcher This has a mini-computer which can program the Blaster Bomb - shaped like a frisbee - to fly around buildings, though windows and then to hit a trooper on the other side of a street. A single blaster bomb can completely annihilate a small building, causing taller buildings to collapse. Aliens carrying this weapon should be eliminated immediately. 
Plasmathrower
This alien weapon is quite similar in concept to the flamethrower. It releases a dense cloud of plasma out to a range of about 5-6 meters, boiling the flesh and armor of anyone inside the area of effect.

Alien Powered Armor
This armor was first encountered by the Cold Force in 2003, during the Great Alien War. Unlike the earlier models, the newest specimens have no exposed cables. This armor is made specifically for mutons - no other race is able to fit into the suit. The armor's weaknesses are that it consumes large amounts of elerium for power and that it can easily be penetrated/cut by laser fire.

Small Alien Hovercraft
These hover a few meters above the ground. Using Elerium for propulsion, this vehicle can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour. Usually these carry up to 8 man-sized aliens and pack some sort of on-board plasma turret.

Alien Flyers
These were what used to be called "small-sized UFO's". Now that they are pretty well identified, it has become evident that the aliens have reorganized the roles of their vehicles since the Great Alien War. The smaller alien craft, usually carrying between 1 and 12 crew members are used as fighters. The medium-sized 
ships are used as supply and transport vessels. The largest alien ships consume a prohibitive amount of elerium-115 and are almost never seen in the air. Most alien ships pack one or more heavy plasma turrets, while some pack fusion missile launchers (similar in concept to the smaller blaster launchers).
