And if they hadn't made that choice, some of those fights we saw would have been over in seconds. I forgot that in Civil War Falcon had shoulder mounted guided missiles and some kind of wrist mounted launcher. In addition to the guns and the weaponized drone.

I guess the in story rationale is they aren't fighting Aliens or Hydra so they decided to dial it down a bit, lol.
I think that rationale could work in light of the justified real-world backlash against excessive force by government officials, which Sam himself has fought against in CA2
