That makes no damn sense.  You do NOT create a higher
volume of fire from an infantry squad by loading them
down with more weapons.  Switching weapons in a
firefight reduces volume of fire, not increases it.

You give soldiers multiple weapons to increase
versatility, not firepower.  ie., a soldier with a
rifle and a buzzbomb is capable of engaging tanks OR
infantry.  Not both at the same time.  Shades of
freakin' Rambo, running around with an M-60 in each
hand.  

I can tell you've never fired a weapon.
