I'm sure there are other instances of this problem occurring in other armies, but for my purposes I will focus on Guard. I want to stuff my CCS with grenade launchers to provide support for my infantry. I want to take four launchers on my veterans, but I also want to carry a regimental standard. Is this legal? I don't see any contradiction in the rules, but I don't know if it necessarily makes sense strap a massive banner to a guy wielding a huge grenade launcher. You can also ask the question "can I throw a vox-castor on a guardsman in a heavy weapons team if that team is apart of an infantry squad?"

Paraphrasing but "Any remaining vets that have not been upgraded with one of the above may take a special weapon"

So no if you have taken a standard or a med pack, you no longer qualify for a grenade launcher.

Wow. Can't believe I missed that lol. Thanks

Usually weapons and upgrades that makes it impossible to use something else will say so in the description. You could have the standard and keep your lasgun, for example. It might not make sense but it's perfectly fine for a heroic fellow in WH40K to lug around a huge standard and fire his rifle from the hip.
