Little change for pick up dropped weapon.

Dopped weapons should be destructable like everything else.
The fact that German weapons are usually worth more is offset by the fact that their squads also have more free slots. Picking up a weapon with Conscripts means no seventh man. Picking it up with Grens means you're still able to upgrade your LMG.

And I'd rather take a weapon than a seventh man. It's more efficient. I still do not understand why why there is only this option without an alternative.

If I say，LMG especially LMG42 for any 6 men squad will be very useful，even Ostruppen...And Soviet squad not have accuracy debuff，cheap 6 men with LMG why you think it worse than 7 men upgrade...
And basic COH2 game rule，4 men with 2x slot weapon when you lost 3 men it will have chance drop weapon，6 men with 1 or 2 slot weapon of course hard to drop，I think this is why already reduce Soviet Guards DP and PTRS and USF BAR drop rate，and I think no reason make single squad too strong，like 2X LMG34 Ober squad ，2x LMG or PanzerSchreck Soviet squad.....

Part of my point was that e.g. Grenadiers can always upgrade their MG42 and still pick up a weapon later. With Conscripts, you usually don't have that option. No one keeps a 6 men Conscript around just in case it will be able to pick up a weapon during the game. You usually upgrade them to 7 men right away. 6 men Cons with pick up weapon happen either during the early game when the 7 men upgrade is not available or during the late game when you cannot upgrade (yet) due to munition shortage.
I am not sure about Volks: Are they able to pick up a weapon after being upgraded? Don't think so, but not sure. Anyway, weapon drops happen rarely as OKW since they don't have many units on the field that can actually drop a weapon, like Sturmpios and Obers.

Maybe in 1v1, but in 3v3 or 4v4, conscripts are no more than a starter unit, and without elite infantry there is nothing to do in these modes. So in these modes, a detachment of 6 people completely remains.

I'd rather leave 6 people hoping for something like this:

And I would always prefer at least one DP-27 over the 7th person in the detachment.
