Computed, not hand-picked. Weapons are ranked by how many sourced Terminids they fully damage at the easiest fatal spot (wiki armor penetration vs. armor values); ties go to easier-to-get items. Armor is one per passive, ordered by how much of the front's damage it resists, on the weight class our rule suggests. Stratagems cover the front's threats and the mission type (role tags are editorial).

Can it kill the armoured targets?

Your support weapons against the easiest fatal spot on each armoured (Medium or heavier) Terminid, using wiki penetration values.
