I agree that the FW should have some sort of basic kit. IMHO this would be something like "First Contact" kit
Per "Final Watch" FW-31 has basic issue without weapons or MPV. I agree that the bolt hole design allows for one at a time activation. A design that is more or less a hall way with doors on either side, with one per door.

The first approach was buried under an "ash pit", a refuse dump, from waste at coal plants or incinerators. These are marked on topo maps made by the USGS. A later magazine had the FW buried under a TMP emergny shelter with a MPID access door.

Personally, I think they should have their own weapon with at a minimum the HP-35. Basic issue and winter issue would be ideal with no idea the season when activated.

The canon "basic issue" is pretty inadequate, but that is for another thread.
