Maybe they mean in addition to the plasma rifle? I can see how that would work if you didn't want your suits to get too close.. Even so though, it seems a bit of a 'best of a bad bunch' option, as there really are no other weapons which work at that range.
Personally, though, I'd use plasma rifles and fusion blasters. I'm not sure how well that one's going to work out with my mediocre distance-judging skills, but hey, it seems like once you've cracked it it's a better option.
