	OK, I have seen many people refer to HW teams as having only
pistols

or close assault weapons. I know that is how it is in the rules and I do

understand the Game Mechanic reasons for it. My question (for my
education) 
is does this match what modern armies are doing? Does a
TOW/Javlin/Dragon 
type team only have pistols?
