T'Pol was a former Vulcan Intelligence Agent (with all the Black Ops Badassitude that entails).
And off the top of my head, she went hand-to-hand with a few Klingons (consecutively, not all at once) in one episode (after demonstrating on Travis as a sparring partner).
I recall being surprised by how little she used the nerve pinch --I only recall her using it on fellow crewmen who were under hostile influence (i.e., people who needed to be kept alive). She clearly wasn't the technical pacifist Spock was.

Terminators I & II - Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton)
Fringe - Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv)
Silence of the Lambs - Clarice Starling (Jodi Foster)
All these ladies are weapons-familiar to some extent or another, but I wouldn't call them weapons-dependent. They are all at least primarily human, with the possible exception of Ziva David, who I suspect may belong to some category of angel or similar celestial being.
Had Jenette Vasquez down, then saw Jong had beat me to her (so to speak). Way to be there, Jong!

Even Purdey (Joanna Lumley) in the New Avengers could kick butt.
Actually, Lumley is still kicking butt today: I don't know what she did to this guy off camera, but he's obviously been broken:

...the guy should look on the bright side: most politicians have to pay good money for that sort of "discipline".

Okay, back the truck up. Padme/Amidala is a butt kicker but Ripley is weapons dependent? Padme used a gun in Episode 1, and fought a bit in Episode 2. In 3 she whined a lot and died.
Ripley didn't have much for weapons in Alien - she managed to survive when everyone else was killed, and killed the alien by blowing it out the airlock. In Aliens she took over the whole outfit, drove in to rescue to Marines when the Lieutenat had a meltdown, defended herself and Newt when a face crawler thingy attacked them... the list goes on. She only uses weapons at the end, and even then, she kills the queen using a loader and the airlock once again.
Sorry - I love Ripley. Didn't mean to rant 
Does Jennifer Garner kick butt in Alias? Hell yeah, and she rarely uses a gun.
Starbuck in the new BSG is human. And kicks all kind of ass.
I would add Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) from Chuck, and Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) from The Matrix.

Oops - you already had Trinity.
I would add Kira Nerys in ST:DS9. She was the butt kickingest of all the ST women, IMHO.
Has anyone said Faith, from Buffy?

Added some, not Vulcans or other aliens. Isn't Kira on DS9 an alien?
Supregirl was from Krypton, right?
And Species, Natasha was alien.
