Just off the top of my head, presuming you want to have a look that
involves most of your weapons being larger than average and also some
sort of game mechanic difference that means your force "feels"
different than your average force. . .

If you wanted, and your opponent agreed, you could have them be gauss
weapons with adjustable settings.  It could have a 'low power' setting
with FP 2 Imp d12 as a rifle, or could be dialed up to produce a light
anti-armor effect as per a HAMR.  Then you put some sort of limit on
it--perhaps HAMR setting requires an auxilliary battery pack and each
trooper is only issued two auxilliary battery packs.  It would be more
paperwork, or you could use counters or something.  Game balance-wise,
it wouldn't be any worse than issuing a lot of	 IAVRs, especially if
you limited the HAMR to targeting individual models as it is a point
weapon rather than an explosive warhead.

Or you could say that your forces use a modular weapon system with
only minor differences between AR, LMG, and Sniper systems.  You just
have to do a little modding to represent the differences well enough
that you can tell yourself.
