Okay John, here's some thoughts (based off of the 25mm figures I own and some
other good thoughts):
NSL:
Fig: SGN18-B Weapon: RF AP Plasma Gun
(must be similar to the UN weapon)
MGP-81 (MachinGewehrPlasma? - help me out
Germanic Speakers of the LIst) IMP: D12 FP: D12
UNSC:
either SGU-06A or SGU-19A (can't tell since I
have the figure with huge plasma gun firing from hip in armour with helmet on
but there
aren't pix) - it looks like a point-fire-plasma gun
rather than a typical SAW
UN HSPW-82 FP: D8 IMP: D12*
I'll post an URL to a pic of this later so someone can help me identify which
figure it actually is.
More to come when I have some more time.

The other NSL plasma weapon is listed as "SK", for Sturmkanone or "Storm
(Assault) Cannon". This should probably be Automatic Assault Cannon, or if
it's considered an evolutionary development of the
SK51-type weapon, simply designated SK-81. Perhaps
Machine SturmKanone?
> UNSC:
Here are a couple more thoughts:
Low Tech Shotgun: close only, FP 3, impact d4+d4 (each roll applied
separately to one armor) Cheap, easily maintained, and effective against
unarmored targets, the
low-tech shotgun is used on a dozen worlds by hunters, village defense
militias, and petty criminals.
Sa'Vasku Younger Swarm: FPd6, Impact: roll 1d4 and multiply by the number of
points by which the FP die exceeded the target's defense
die. These are essentially flying, flesh-eating insects, roughly 3cm
across, and the FP/IMP probably needs to be adjusted

with some other 'generic' civillian weapons. What I could do is define, in my
generic weapon section, some basic types of weapons and give examples.

YMMV, but that's probably too weak. Except under unusual circumstances rarely
would that take down an armored soldier. SV constructs armed with this would
be raw meat. But at any rate, until BDS shows up I'm laying off the alien
weapons.

That was d4xN, not the same mechanism as the shotgun.
