Let's see shall we

I'm going to side with the First Order. I know next to nothing about XCOM or their technology but the Blaster Rifle would appear to have the more deadly round if just because lasers are more deadly than bullets but even with that aside it has a much bigger shot capacity than the Magnetic Rifle and it's also important to note that Stormtrooper armour is virtually impervious to damage from standard rounds giving them a better protection than the Advent Troopers. They also have the far superior secondary weapon in the Blaster Pistol which is more accurate than a grenade, reusable and more effective as Stormtrooper armour is also heavily resistant to blast shrapnel.

Edge: The First Order
