I know their weapons would be a boring combination. On one hand, feels somewhat uncreative and too specialized.

On the other hand, it worked for me in XCOM. I was thinking that they would be differences like melee modes for their sniper weapons and/or secondary weapons. I briefly toyed with the idea of having two rival sniper teams. One with different .50 rifles. One with all different non .50 caliber rifles. That felt excessive. I feel like the latter is too much of a good thing, so I agree that is a little excessive. On the other hand, giving them different secondary weapons, and perhaps varying how much they use the rifles might work. But again, I agree with Someone and Phantom, that this feels too specialized.
