  the house rule that I have played with is that after a reorg action if
the troop
quality is regular or better then a normal guy can pick up the special
weapon that
was dropped.  I think that if the victim had his armor die beaten by
more than
three times then the weapon should be destroyed, but I haven't played
with that
yet.
