Squad Leader Token/ Squad Assignments.

You could just change this to letting cargo order a marksmen crate. A crate that'd come with either of the rifles listed above with a few different types of ammo at a high point cost. As you're not gambling for a random weapon you're selecting said weapon maybe an 80 point cost? Expensive I know but scoped rifles really can be over powered in the hands of a lot of marines. Handing out eight, plus a sniper spec, plus whoever can get the scope from cargo would make being a boiler suffering.

I already don't like the general attitude of a lot of Marines bum-rushing cargo to get the good attachments before they all run out, I don't want to see it amplified with cargo being the only place to get variations on the standard M41As.

The only two ways forward I can think off with this suggestion, aside from cargo, is either a new role or to let the SL be able to distribute special weapons among the squad (assuming the squad even gets a SL).

As someone who typically plays SL, I have to say that this is a good suggestion. It'd stop SLs from being metatargeted, or atleast let them have a defense, and allow them to give competent squad members better weapons so they aren't instantly killed

The SL is not supposed to have more weapon options. They are supposed to be leading the squad, not taking point in every engagement because they have a cool gun. The specialist is there for a variety of roles when it comes to actual combat, and if you want to test out a weapon, you can get it from cargo. Presuming they have it in stock, as it is intended. Denied.
