These are both repeatable projects.
Every time you complete them (and use a core in the process) you have a chance of creating a new armbased weapon for the heavy suits of armour.

The end game WAR suit can equip them all.
Im pretty sure the exo suit can only equip the experimental powered weapons.

You get 1 shot per mission (per suit).

The powered ones use more materials to build and are thus more powerfull.

They consist of of broad range of weapons from flame throwers, rocket launchers, plasma beams. Sometimes the damage is a beam, some have an arc and a few are similar to grenades. Some have shred and some dont.

For experimental heavy weapons its something like plated armour->exo suit->weapons.
I assume powered weapons is the same and will only unlock once you have the armour research.

Both the exo suit and the war suit look great cosmeticaly.
The arm based weapons are no more powerfull than having 1 of the upgraded grenades, they are just different.

The one thing I should mention is that the Grenadier does get a perk fairly late down the line to use Heavy Weapons twice in a mission.

They get a skill that gives +1 grenade to the grenade only slot in armour.
They also get a skill that allows them to use a grenade or heavy weapon first and then also do something else.
They dont get 2 shots of the arm based weapon though.

No.

EXO unlocks the first tier.

WAR unlocks the second tier.

You do not need both. You can skip E.X.O and Exp Hvy Weapons entirely and still get W.A.R and Exp Powered Weapons. You may want to check out the Tech Tree mod.
