Weapon Drops
A total of 8 different heavy weapons can be dropped in Company of Heroes: Opposing Front.
Squad members will pass around heavy weapons until there is not enough squad members left (i.e. 2 Bazookas and 2 Rangers remaining). Once that happens, there is a chance to lose weapons.
When picking up weapons, the number of men alive in that squad does not matter, only the squad slot limit is considered, which means one grenadier man, can pick up 4 BAR rifles as long as the squad has never upgraded.
