	Different ''humans'' have more or fewer slots than others. Clearly, ''medics, police, civilians'' and some ''resistance fighters'', cannot carry heavy armament. They're either not trained to, or, they're already implicitly carrying ''medical packs''. The disastrous {{Name\|arma1\|short}} completely destroyed this distinction. {{Name\|arma2\|short}} enhances the distinction a little more than {{Name\|ofp\|short}}.
