Yes, this is true. The only weapons that do not suffer from this rule are the
one handed weapons ie all of the pistol type weapons, grenades, etc.

I think they start over. I have done this on occasion and it seemed to me that
it took just as long the second time around as it did if I had not interrupted
their research. ]

No. You return to base with everything that survived the ground mission.
Alien weapons, artifacts, corpses etc are not included in the 80 item limit.
The limit exists only for your troops when you go on missions, not on what
you bring back. NOTE: The same 80 item limit also exists for the Avenger as
well. What a bitch this is since the Avenger carries almost double the
soldiers, so you have to carry weapons platforms since you do not have enough
storage space on the Avenger to reasonably equip a 26 man squad. About a
month ago I requested that the remake of UFO do away with this ridiculous
limit.
