like you say the corpus just manufactured the weapons for money but didnt use them, they just sold them to military units of colony worlds, and space pirates

the corpus themselves have a strict law in their society dictating the use of only energy weapons (this dates back to the zealdius incident, the last known projectile weapon used by corpus that set of a chain reaction in the fusion core of their mothership killing millions of people) they also have another law forcing all plasma weapons that would normally do massive heat damage to instead somehow do electrical damage defying even physics itself

they did use the snipetron so this obviously broke their laws and the lore, so the corpus r&d rushed to make the lanka replacement

john prodman did save 100,000s of people from that mothership btw and won the big golden prod award that same year
