When you are the leader of a squad some missions allow you to change your weapons/ammi, you do this by clicking the picture of your gun in the briefing screen, if you are allowed to change it you will get shown a list of available weapons, if clicking the picture of your gun does nothing then you are not allowed to change your weapon

As for ammo crates, when you walk close enough to them in the bottom right of the screen you will see options such as "take m16 mag", "take m60" etc, or of course if it's a soviet one you will be offered soviet weapons

Wasn't there something that was developed that would allow you to select your weapons before a mission in the missions that you could not change them in the first place?

Where could I get that?

There´s another possibility, even when the mission-creator doesn´t allow you to select weapons:

Let´s say for example you are an officer (you have to be squadleader) and want to carry an M-60.

You select your Machine-Gunner ("Gear"-tab at the "filofax"), click on his M-60 and then click at "none".That removes the weapon and it´s ammo from him and kinda puts the M-60 into your squad´s weapons-pool.Then you select yourself, click on your weapon (M-16) and select the M-60.Then simply select your Machine-Gunner again and give him your M-16.

This also works with LAW´s etc.

Just remove a weapon/item from one of your men and add it to your own inventory.But you have to be the squadleader for this to work.

Hope this helps and wasn´t already common knowledge.
