We play that the GMS/P guy is not carrying a ranged weapon other than
the
GMS/P. He's too busy looking for targets of opportunity to switch
weapons back
and forth.

In my house rule, that I THINK I submitted for inclusion in the scenario
book,
we allow a reorg action to allow another squad member to pick up that
weapon.
However, this is only allowed in armies with cross-training. Untrained
(and
optionally Green) squads can't do this.

I think I also toyed with a roll on the weapon during a reorg action. A
roll
of a 1 indicated the weapon was useless.
