Actually, come to think of it, that's probably part of it. Also
probably partly due to the way my SR sniper operates. (He isn't the
toughest, but he's a good sniper and he can take care of himself up
close too, so he CAN operate solo if necessary.)

weapons can't share ammo except by removing the rounds from one
weapon's clip and stuffing them into an empty clip for the other. Which
takes plenty of time...

Not a bad idea. I'm a bit more simplistic about it. While rounds may be
interchangeable, CLIPS are not. (Although come to think of it, that may
actually be unrealistic. Can anyone tell me if there are different
weapons with compatible clips IRL?)

Oh yes - yes I do. Priority one is to move fast. Priority two (and VERY
close behind P1) is NOT to be noticed.
