Okay, not grenades - although they were used more often in Apoc. as they
were easier to prime.  And entropies were MUCH more than
annoying...homing acid bombs that destroyed equipment and could cripple
men and shields!

Rubbish!  Sorry, but that is completely false.  Aliens have much more
armour than the soldiers in UFO, as well as better weapons (at the
start).  In Apoc., same as in UFO, the aliens started out much harder,
then grew less lethal as time went on...with the advent of shields, both
sides were relatively equal!  And Toxin C versus aliens evened up the
entropy guns and devastators they used!
