Actually Organic races have better weapons than the PPB. The enveloping Acid weapon is great. I also usually use the PPB if I don't use a racial trait with weapons. At least untill I need a better range then I start researching other weapons. A PPB up against a full tech Organic ship is cannon fodder at least human against human. Even against the AI it can be very tough if they outrange you and do more damage per hit.
