Why of course. If they all could carry any weapon, than it would just be like any shooter game and that would mean a lot of assists. I did attend to say that for characters, but I thought it was obvious. However I do like that you brought that up and mentioned it.

Characters should use signature weapons or a "theme" they've used  for specials/attacks, common fighting style (though for each character it should vary, like Grif cowering with his "protective cone", Simmons using his scout like executions [see Firefight!  to understand], to Carolina using karate), and each character can use a magnum for a limited time. I do hope that makes more sense.
