Well, breeding and raising your fighters to be warriors with all the attendant quirks and foibles rather than training them as actual soldiers and then making sure that the vast majority of them either die or get retired young on top of that is bound to have some minor drawbacks...

That's more a topic for another thread, though. :)

I'd recommend weapons with at least 10 points of damage output, since, IIRC, about 2/3 of protos have 9 or less armor on every location (lights and mediums - I think heavies can push 15 or so).
Yeah I found they don't stand up well to C-ERPPC fire well at all.
