Definitely. Consider them sort of Crazy Prepared because they've been in this bitter rivalry since the beginning of the 40th Century (yes, tensions have lasted for a little over a century now). Every weapon and especially superweapon you see now is a result of the government seeing what Kazzack can do (via I.A.S.A spies) and creating countermeasures.

Oh yeah, everything in the arms race is subject to epic debate. More and more laws and regulations are passed on some of the nastier weapons like the EMP grenade with every passing year, it seems.
