Not quite. Mikael was picking off targets with his sniper rifle, and the small Vajra are not very resistant to human guns. Moreover, Mikael's sniper fire had no problems piercing through a larger Vajra, its just that one shot usually won't get the job done. Quran Quran's missile barrage also had little to no impact against the Vajra. And if not for the crack she had made on the Vajra's armor, perhaps Alto wouldn't be as successful even with that old Zent gun equipped.

It is highly possible Quran Quran (somebody tell me where Klan Klein came from please? It doesn't even sound Meltlandi) was using plasma weapons.

Unfortunately, no official source material ever indicated just what type of 'standard' weaponry were being utilized for the Zjentohlauedy/Meltlandi forces. Although one thing for sure, the Zents/Melts never relied on ballistic weaponry as much as humans do. Most of their weapons, save for missiles, are energy based.

UN SPACY did toy with certain aspects of Zent/Melt weapons. Most notably the YF-21, which had a rather similar configuration as the Queadluun-Rau. Then again, official materials did indicate that the YF-21 was influenced by the Queadluun-Rau.

Although most Zents tend to have excessive pride regarding their weaponry, and they rather not pilot a Valkyrie.

I don't think UN SPACY technology ever quite caught up.
