Answering your first question, I was not able to sign up yet because of the lack of time, but hopefully I can do that this weekend. As for weapons, it depends from race to race, but it in general is either heavy, has an painful effect, or both. For example, high-ranking races use particle beams, shotguns and grenade launchers for ranged combat, and things like mauls, halberds and swords for melee combat.

Low-ranking races of the Imperium use melee weapons only, or rarely, ranged weapons like Needlers and Spikers (check out Halo if you don't know what these are).
