thats because the two suits that i didn't mention range of motion issues, N7 and Nanosuit, don't have that problem to the degree that the Aquila and the T-51b do. for instance, rather then hold an assault rifle all the way down the barrel in the N7 armor, hold it just in front of the grip, rather like a submachine gun. this relieves the issue of the shoulder plate blocking your arm.
