     To restate the case, or use a different point of view:

If PA is infantry, then it should use an infantry TOE and will not
have multiple support weapons in the unit.   Problem solved!

If PA is armor, then each PA trooper is 'driving' a one man armored
vehicle, and has a main weapon on the vehicle that can be fired at
any selected target.   Each trooper/vehicle can fire on any available
target in range, and each attack is a seperate attack from a different
vehicle in the unit.   Problem solved!

I fully realize the heritical nature of the concept: PA is a vehicle.
If the PA fits, drive it.
