That statement indicates, tha the fact that Pg can be beat double bar riflemen at specific circumstance is not an indication that double bar riflemen are weaker than Pgs, a claim that I Responded to.
Ah, I can see what you were responding to now, you didn't quote so I assumed it was a general statement.
USF infantry are all about their weapon racks.
It's why REs can be so viable with zooks or bars: their slot_items are what carry the unit, not the unit itself.
Rifles get an at snare with vet, which pretty much mitigates the cost of any investment into weapon racks.
I am more of the opinion that riflemen need to be more effective without weapon upgrades, and less effective with them, though not by much. USF isn't usually laying mines or getting flamethrowers and aren't spending munitions on grenades anymore so it's not like buying weapon racks items costs much strategic capability.
It's definitely a thing to consider (though I personally doubt Rifles need to be a lot better right now considering they're obviously the immediately-available versatile mainline infantry unit that can generally expect to win most engagements against any other ones without upgrades). The power spike from equipping BARs is very distinct.
