A Newb-ish Question About the Nomad fraction

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

If you read the ID it says you can only fight to defend yourself. So, why'd you need nomad lasers? If you must use Nomad weaponry get a few cannons or blasters from the NPC's, because I doubt there'll be nomad trial weaponry in the futre.

A question related to this: Are nomad weapons lootable from NPCs? If so, is there any conditions on their looting (e.g. do you have to kill NPCs in certain systems, etc.)?
