Prime referres to a weapon that is made in its original form using Orokin technology as intended. Normal weapons are just imitations based on Orokin design without Orokin technology.

There's no reason why we would 'need' a normal form to be paired with a Prime weapon. It makes perfect sense for them to cease making a cheap knock-off when they have full access to the weapon in a superior form.
