No, the Imperials have less diverse selection of weapons. All they use are Imperial swords and Imperial Bows. The Stormcloaks use all kinds of weapons, one-handed(sword, war axe, mace) and two-handed(greatsword, battleaxe, warhammer), ranging from iron to steel(which is what the imperial weapons are made of).
