Sniper and Squad Team Weapon V3

[Fabrizio Anastasio]

Hello,

in our local store, we ran into a difficult interpretation of the rule and I would like to get your opinion.

Casualties:
P.88 states that you can remove casualties in any way you like, despite breaking cohesion, and it is assumed that another teammate will collect team weapons from his teammates.

Sniper:
On p. 122, it is explained that the player who successfully rolls to hit and damage can choose which model to remove.

Does this rule imply that in this specific circumstance the team weapon is not collected by another teammate?

“On p. 122, it is explained that the player who successfully rolls to hit and damage can choose which model to remove.”

That is not what it says.

It says “If the sniper successfully rolls to hit and damage, the firing player can pick the squad leader in the target unit as the casualty,”  next sentence extends that to leaders of other infantry and artillery units.  Exceptional damage is gone apart from that sniper ability to take out leaders.
