Given that the K'Kree are militant vegetarians obsessed with commiting 
genocide on all carnivores and omnivores, seems reasonable.

Thinking back over the Striker rules, there isn't much detailed in Traveller 
on the military aspects of the K'Kree.

Most of the combat rules and equipment are based on human or humaniod 
(Vargr, Aslan) model.

My K'Kree reference book (CT Alien Module 2) notes the use of ceremonial 
melee weapons. The only tech weapon noted is the P/F GKP (plasma/fusion gun, 
K'Kree portable) that has a larger power pack than humaniod models. Other 
than that, it makes a general reference to the K'Kree weapons being 
analogous to human weapons.

Doesn't feel like that would be a true statement given the other information 
about the K'Kree mental, emotional and social habits, though.
