LRRPF52 did not say that no SAW gunner would enter the building. Not that he indicated that a SAW gunner from a trail team will help provide cover. That team and gunner are probably not visible in the footage you refer to.
The only reason why soldiers and Marines are lugging around SAWs in MOUT is because they have to...that is what is issued to young hooahs after being a rifleman for a while. You don't get to say, "Sarge, I'd actually like to keep that M4 or M16, since the SAW is a heavy little pig that doesn't really work that well."
