Well I have to agree with most of you... standard weapons are the way to go...
E.g I use AK47's with my Cobra blueshirts (basic weapon for basic troopers or "rookies") Marauder Johns NVR rifles goes wonderfully with my "basic" vipers as a more specialized and "better" version... SAW-Vipers naturally use Marauders SAW-assault rifles and so on.

I use some troops with their original weapon which came with them (eg. Alley viper V1's are just too cool with their assaul rifle thingy)

Maybe the only exeption is my Range-vipers as in my Joeverse they have to supply themselves (like ancient Spartans) so they pretty much use whatever they get their hands on (basically what I have left=) so they are't standardized in any way...

As for the good gyus, I pretty much try to use a weapon that suits the character (e.g Flint does have a shotgun...but its from marauder...same thing with Falcon, and Hit n' Run has his M14 carbine, again from Marauder and so on...)

But again some who dont have "normal" weapons, I have equipped them with one (e.g Salvo and Downtown with "backup" or close combat weapons, as they have to be able to defend themselves)

Eagle out...
