Units with stupid weapon choices

[P3D]

There are some units that have units with only suboptimal weapons selections.

The most glaring example being some EA Agarthan troops. Nothing larger than a Buckler shield, weapon is either damage 3 spear, or a glaive that makes the Pale One's abysmal attack skill even lower.
The boulder throwers that have two boulders to throw then wade into melee with fists and no helmet.
MA-LA Agarthan Infantry, your only choice being a shortsword.
Considering that they are supposed to be cave dwellers and great miners, kind of counterintuitive.
Any human infantry with spears only in LA.
Gath slingers - as their missile weapons won't damage anything armored, they got two shortswords to wade into melee with minimal protection.

What else is there?
