	There IS a penalty for carrying things in your off-hand, but I don't
remember if it applies to all weapons or just rifles.  Whether it's a
penalty for carrying extra or a bonus for NOT carrying extra is pretty
meaningless though since the effect is the same.

	Good question!  I don't the answer either.  My gut reaction is that
you'd lose all progress and would have to start over with whatever you
choose.  You could test it fairly easily: from a savegame position
research something and see how long it takes (just crank the speed and
ignore all events), go back to the save, research it halfway, research
something else, then go back and try the first one again.

	No, it only affects the equipment you can take with you (which I must
say was a pretty lame, low, and arbitrary limit to use even given the
state of game programming and limits of computer power at the time the
game was released).
