Maybe PDW's for recon, but at the expense of using the radio beacon or MAV, too much weight for a kit that's supposed to be quick.

If they ever hand C4 back to recon (hope they don't), it'd have to come at the expense of being able to use a sniper rifle, effectively bringing back the spec-ops kit. On a side I think it's cheap to use shotguns for recon, what if kills with all-kit weapons only counted towards attachments and general rank, not the kit score.
