Devils advocate here (because I’m not to bothered either way, and I’m begining to  agree it looks like the RGA should be classified as a heavy weapon… )

 

re pins – the number of PINs a RGA generates are by the HE rule, so there is nothing to stop a small arms weapon giving multiple PINs

re page 56, that says all heavy weapons have a PEN mod, not that only heavy weapons can have a PEN mod, also again the RGA doesn have a PEN value, its the HE template that does

re light mortar – thats not a rifle grenade adaptor,  the rules in both the marianas & stalingrad campaign books dont say use light mortar rules they give a separte stat line (with shorter range)
