It is unstated, but I think somewhere in the process the developers/promoters believe that because the ammo will be 'effective' at longer distances that the ground pounder will fire fewer rounds in order to attain fire superiority. In other words, they are banking on the effectiveness of individual shots. As such, I don't think they are necessarily planning on equipping them with a comparable load out...IIRC, in (at least) one of the articles it was stated that they are planning on the same basic ammo load.
