Depends on doctrine.  I mean think about it.  In 2183,
the radio, binoculars, and night vision are all built
into the helmet and weigh a few ounces each.  

Advanced weapons (gauss especially) would probably be
less likely to need spare barrels.

Ammo weight is lower than present due to use of either
caseless ammo, binary propellants, or gauss darts.

Grenade launchers are built into the weapons of many
nation's standard riflemen.

And the IAVRs are pretty compact too--I'm thinking of
the ones on the OUDF infantry for instance. You could
more plausibly issue them to practically everyone.
