Technically, taking the rules as given, there's nothing stating that you
can
pick up a weapon used by a guy who was wounded or killed. In fact,
during a
convention game one side was ecstatic that a missile launcher guy was
killed
and we got into a discussion based on what the rules said.

However, I agree fully with you, which is why grabbing a lost weapon was
the
first house rule I ever developed. Some scenarios are almost unwinnable
due to
flukey casualties, so I state this is a scenario specific rule quite
often

Gee, something else we agree with! *L*.
