That is a huge distinction.

No, it IMPLIES he is a long fang. It also implies that GW didnt want people thinking you could give the sarge a heavy weapon as well.

No.

The unit is a Unit of Long fangs, the unit of long fangs is made up of 1-5 "Long Fangs", and 1 "Squad Leader"; but every model in the unit is still a Long Fang.

This is exactly the same as Dark Eldar Reavers: which is a Unit of Reavers made up of 3-10 "reavers", and 1 of which can be upgraded to an "arena Champion"; but every model in the unit is still a Reaver(The same actually goes for every single unit in the Dark Eldar List, I single out Reavers as they have upgrade options for both "every 3 "models" in the unit, and one Model/ 3 "Reavers"; which both mean exactly the same thing, since they are all reavers).

To say anything else would deny the Mandrake "Nightfiend" his 5++ save(as the save is granted to "Mandrakes"; which he is by virtue of being a member of a mandrakes unit made up of "Mandrakes" and a "Nightfiend"); And I am more than certain we can find many more examples of unit and basic trooper names being identical and the unit members all(including upgrade characters) receiving a special rule that calls for the unit-name to be affected.

Hear hear!

Don't make me bust out the "Your models don't have eyes, so you can't shoot!" rule.

You can argue something all day, doesn't mean your going to change anyone's mind, let alone the rules.
