not as suprising as you would think, a truly routed unit has only one thought, run. Drop that heavy rifle because you have no intent to use it. In game not every routed unit drops its weapons, im not sure of the math the game uses but it seems only when you have allot of men running do you get weapon drops. So to represent all the weapons drooped one or two brigades, have not seen three yet, lose there weapons and are downgraded to junk. To be honest any battle where you hold the field and the enemy took say 10k casualties, you would salvage 8k or so rifles. You could translate that into 40 weapons and spend as you wish, shrug. But, big but, salvaged weapons were taken by the units that did the deads so to speak, and they didnt like giving what they considered there spoils. So if they found better weapons they kept em.
