Well while it's certainly a valid idea, (carrying the heavy firepower)
the
primary role of the spotter is to Spot. If anything he may have even
more
advanced optics than the sniper. A scoped assault rifle is a common
spotter
weapon.  (depends on the mission of course). I would think that a SAW
might
be a bit much to hump. The spotter usually lugs the radio, a big pair of
binos or a spotter scope, and and his own ghillie suit (plus his normal
kit). Me personaly, I'd stick with an M4 (maybe a 203) preferring to
remain
light and mobile.
