Thanks, in theory they should be better at short range,... thanks for the info though, as it takes TU's to pick them up and overloading can slow troops. But being able to pick up anything, bring it back, salvage or retro research and then manufacture, or possibly just sell them. I'm a bit of a hoarder n luv picking stuff up Thanks again

The Cleaner Mission, some soldiers picked up smgs and the ammo from dead cleaners while collecting data sticks. Mission successful, everyone returned to the ship, but when I arrived back at base, everything I had picked up had vanished. I checked the soldiers inventory, available weapons and the stores, but no smg's nor ammo... I have not yet researched how to make smg's, but I did expect that whatever I collect from the battlefield remains with my soldiers. I'm not using any mods.
