When playing as RMC, you will get a Marine Engineers squad at the beginning of the game. One of the upgrades you can purchase for that squad is the Boys AT rifle upgrade. However, upon purchasing that upgrade, you don't actually get Boys AT rifles---you get PIATs.

In addition to that, only the starting Marine Engineers squad for RMC actually has the Boys AT upgrade. Every other Marine Engineers squads you build will properly display the option to equip PIATs and not Boys AT rifles.

I couldn't verify this one. But I'd like to confirm something:

When you get the Field Support upgrade in the HQ truck, Marine Engineers replace the Boys AT upgrade with a PIAT one, and the troops that already have Boys AT rifles replace them with PIATs as well.

Have you purchased the Field Support upgrade before noticing this?

Oh. Well that explains everything then... :P I only reported this after noticing that the Marine Engineers I upgraded with Boys AT were holding PIATs and that every Marine Engineers squad I built afterwards had the PIAT upgrade. I'm sure I bought the Field Support upgrade some time during that game, but I guess I simply did not take it into consideration. So I guess that means that there is no bug, only my lack of awareness. Sorry about that. :-[
