Change that to light armor and unarmored vehicles. Most of the simple to
operate, man portable weapons won't do much more than inform a tank driver
of your exact location. And as they would be of limited effectiveness in
this sort of campaign anyway, I think we can disregard them. A Mark 19, on
the other hand, would do nicely.
