It’s only a bolt action rifle. No meta gonna be broken if you allow everyone other than crewmen and pilots to use it.

Assaulter is the only one who cant equip BA right? Assuming its not the default BA that is. Only issue I see is that by allowing assaulters to take a better long range weapon, they become masters of all.
snipers and machine gunners cannot as well
my only question is why not just replace them with riflemen in that case?

This was going to be my question too. 
kinda don’t like the hassle of changing through bunch of dudes just to use bolt-action rifles. Sometimes you get a bolt action task and just want to get over it by changing your squad weapons to bolt actions
Some APC crews cant do that I think.
Problem at be 3 4 5 it’s not an issue for snipers or assaulters. But at br 1 2 it’s a straight upgrade so no. As for machine gunners why not the mg is a straight up better weapon not available at br 1.
Do you not save a couple of lineups ready to go in your squad preset menu? Thats what I do, not to mention BR2 is the best place to do tasks already, just alternate the squads you use depending on whatever task you want to focus.
What I also do is I keep a few soldiers in reserve with premade loadouts depending if I want to swap about equipment or etc, makes it a matter of seconds to change a squad lineup.
I mean fair I suppose, still I dont understand why you wouldnt just take a riflemen instead there if you wanted a BA, its not like driver perks really matter for an APC.
No no, what I mean is you cant replace all troops in APCs with riflemen
