The title says it all. The hero rifleman should get something significant. It's not unrealistic to expect that a highly-decorated soldier with many kills was able to salvage a pistol from the body of his enemy.
Give Hero Rifleman an Enemy Pistol

The existing enemy loadouts should be removed, not extra ones added.
Look here for my ideas about this enemy weapons and weapon/hero upgrades:

short overview:
remove enemy loadouts and remove the whole ranking system.
Some upgrades need so delete from this game and some other will be chooseable for special classes.

I think heroes should get an enemy uniform too. Its not hard to imagine that a hero just alltogether took his enemy's uniform & gear.
NO.
NO.
I don't believe that anyone is so stupid as to make that jump in logic, so that leads me to believe that you're just being an immature d**khead.
To those others who disagree: do you think this idea would gameplay worse, or is just unrealistic, or both? I can understand if you think it would make gameplay worse.
I think that if you are going to have "heroes", the current state of the hero rifleman is not realistic. What's more unrealistic to me is a highly-decorated, veteran rifleman who doesn't have something to show for his time in war. I think that just about any rifleman would take a pistol if he saw one on the ground. I certainly would; it makes an easily portable backup weapon.

Semi unrealistic.
As a bunch of people already said it in other posts, if you are such a hero with awesome ninja skillz and sh*t, then use them skillz and ninja trough the enemy lines , bayonet or bash the enemy commander in the face and get his P38/TT33.
I the only thing I have against it gameplaywise is that its an enemy pistol.
It has a different sound than your nation's pistols do. Of corse this is not that big of an issue, but i can already imagine people TK ing on pavlovs house in buildings like this.
Hear a german and a russian screaming a floor under you- P38 shoots 4 times and dead silence. Basic logic kicks in > the german had a pistol and devestaded my comrade. Also he probably has an MP40 or a G41= he's gonna rape me if i go down there. So just throw a grenade downstairs and kill the guy.
result: Ended my comrades epic pistol killingspree of 10+ kills.
Something like this happend to me more then once. Tough my comrade didn't have a P38 , but an Mg34.
Thats the reason I hate people running around with enemy weapons 24/7

Thank you for a sincere, non-sarcastic response. I hear what you're saying. I am more inclined to believe that an enemy's pistol might not be the best for gameplay, but perhaps one from his own nation. I still think the hero rifleman should get some extra, tangible benefit. That's just the only thing I can think of that's somewhat realistic, and won't totally break gameplay. Oh well.
Oh sorry, I guess I should have said that I meant the change should be for realism servers. I don't really play on relaxed realism, so I didn't know.
The funny thing is that I think it's more unrealistic that a decorated veteran rifleman NOT carry a pistol, yet the representation in-game is reversed, realism-wise (at least in my eyes).
