Your infantryman still gets weapons that would be considered destructive devices under the law and illegal to own. Grenades and so on.

Yeah, there's some gray area there and grenades are probably the best example.

Separated from philosophical side of things, they are legal to own Federally at least, at $200 a tax stamp. I don't know anything about the jurisprudence wrt to destructive devices.

edit: Another example might be DU ammunition, but I don't know if that's something carried by your typical soldier. I think it's more often in large caliber crew-served and vehicle mounted weapons, but have no actual basis for that.
