[quote=@The Wyrm] Haven't spent much time in the military have you? No one gets to buy "personal" arms except commissioned officers. We Troopers might get away with carrying a pistol or two we pick up but otherwise we'd be keeping the same sword and carbine. The standardization makes it easy to get spare ammo from your buddies, be they dead or alive. Also, if we brea expensive shit we have to buy new stuff. If we break government issue, they just give us new stuff. Lastly, we're enlisted men. I don't know what histories you've read but very few of them ever got rich and even fewer bought practical things like weapons. Whores and booze my son, the staples of a soldiers life.

Regardless, the person in question is a cornet, ie an officer, and when i said we i was referring to those of us playing officers.
