I'd say no.  Perhaps the name changes from SAW (Sq. Auto. Weapon) to  
SSW (Sq. SUPPORT Wpn) but I'd think the infantry squad will always  
have something special to anchor their tactics around.

This may not be the case for non-infantry or specialized troops who  
only have their standard issue rifle.  Having said that back in my  
Arty days we actually had quite a few M-60s and M-203s.  203s I could  
understand but 60's?  I mean really now -- we had at least thirteen . 
50's spread throughout the battery...  Oh well.
