Don't know what Section 8 is, but yes. There would be limitations, of course. For example, alien weaponry has to have been captured before you can study it recommision for it, so you can't ask for it if you've never used it. And if you leave a rare weapon behind in a level, like a Spartan Laser or a Sniper Rifle, it will be lost and it will take some time before you can ask for another one. That and the drone bringing the weapon takes several minutes to reach you and could potentially alert enemy force who may shoot it down. It's one idea.
