SCENARIO ONE: The Prawns (District 9) are 1 million strong, as they were in their movie. The Xenos (Aliens, also 1 million strong) have descended upon District 9 and have decided to infect every Prawn in the District.
The Prawns are aware that the Xenos are coming, so they arm themselves with Prawn weaponry to defend themselves. No BioSuit, just hand held weaponry.
Do the Xenos infect them, or does Prawn weaponry prevail?
SCENARIO TWO: Same as one, but the Prawns have their Biosuit (with Wikus at the helm), and the Xenos have their queen.

I give the scenario's to the prawns, their weaponry is way more advanced than our's and the marines in aliens. Now although the marines didn't have to take on 1 million xeno's they still had to take a fair amount of them and they did pretty well...for a certain amount of time. And ripley with an exosuit cargo loader did pretty well against the queen and that didn't exactly have any weapons unless you count the grips and the little flamethrower as weapons. The biosuit is armed with weapons so I doubt the queen could do much to that if she had trouble with one that was un-armed.
Yes, the Prawns had some uber weaponry, but how good are they with it? It is said in the narrative that the Prawns that came here were working class, not soldiers. The Xenos are fast movers and have mad stealth, alot are gonna get through and get to the Prawns.

Yes, but D-9 wasn't that big was it? You're talking about a million large army.
Anyway, in that kinda of environment, the Prawns take it. Aliens need bigger structures to hide behind and strike from the shadows. Also depends on the time of day. If it were night time, Aliens would own this shit.
Yeah. And Biosuits wouldn't last long against suicidal drones, sacrificing themselves to melt through them with their blood. The Alien have sacrificed drones before for the greater good.
D-9 was pretty big, it housed a million prawns. Plus there were roads and shit.
It also consisted of flimsy shacks, Prawn weaponry would level the shacks, reducing the places the Xenos can hide. The weapon Wikus used when escaping the voodoo guys took out like 4 or 5 humans in one shot. And the weapon Christopher used when they were raiding EMU fired like a mini-gun. Then there was the one that shot an RPG like projectile that levelled a shack.
I just realized that I said the Xenos were aiming to infect the Prawns, but I left out facehuggers. There are, let's say, 500 facehuggers in the mix, does that sound about right?
The non-humans have a variety of extremely-powerful energy weapons. The weapons can only be activated by alien DNA, which means that no human can use them (with the sole exception of Wikus). The weapons shown in the film are mostly energy-based, but several clips asdfst one point, Christopher can be seen using one that appears to handle like an assault rifle when he and Wikus stormed MNU headquarters. Wikus uses a gun in the Nigerian gang base capable of producing a shockwave blast powerful enough to blast a human through a wall at high speeds. Even a near miss can send someone flying through the air as shown in the film. Another weapon of note is a large alien mech that Wikus piloted near the end of the film. The suit appears to have a number of other alien weapon capabilities integrated into it, along with a magnetic field generator that allows it to catch enemy projectiles and launch them right back at the enemy.
The most well known weapon is the ARC gun. It fires a huge charge of sadfns and rapid molecular expansion of gas and fluid. In a soft biological or animal target, an ARC gun strike can result in a catastrophic explosion of blood and gore. But even a near miss can cause superficial burns and keep an enemy subdued, and bolmans in District 9 hold the power of lightning in their hands.

Not a very good comparison with the size man. Considering you can fit a lot of people in to small places a lot of the time. Look at concentration camps in WW2 for example.

not willingly if youre referring to the scene in resurrection.
and besides im not really sure why the prawns would even need their weaponry. theyre strong enough to kick a man so hard that he fies 40 feet back with his arms snapped off. a prawn would crush an alien in close quarters unless the xeno got the jump on it.
While I agree with the strength of the D9 fools, the Xenomorphs have better body weapons, jaws, claws, tail, they're likely faster (not sure in an outright sprint though) and the acid blood would make it hard from the D9 alien to kill one without being incapacitated in return.
While I agree that the Xenomorphs have better natural abilities and weapons, the Prawns get prep. Which is kind of a big thing. Especially since most likely the battle will be during the day, since the D9 was mostly day. Which helps them even more. They can also set up in tons of positions military strategy wise. I.E. Snipers, flanks, ect ect. Because of their alien weaponry that has unlimited ammo if I remember or at least I don't remember them ever running out of it anyway they're going to be way to much for the Xenomorphs.
That's not to say that a lot of the Prawns won't die because they will.
