I have a Melee going with a full broken squad as a guard and a full squad of prisoners
During the Movement phase the sniper is activated and CRs the broken squad.
Does the Prison get to rearm to a Conscript Half squad for the upcoming Close combat phase?
Or do they stay a Full prisoner squad and should they kill the broken half squad become a 1/2 squad unarmed and Conscript 1/2 squad

References please and thank you

No reaming here so the prisoner remains a full squad guarded by the broken HS. If they defeat the enemy in CC, they will become an armed HS Conscript and an unarmed HS.

A prisoner can rearm if it kills its Guard in CC. If the Guard is eliminated "by any other means," the prisoner is rearmed only if no other enemy units are left in the Location:

20.551 REARMING: ...One attacking Unarmed friendly unit of equal or smaller size is rearmed immediately for each armed enemy unit it eliminated/captured in CC (or by any other means if no other enemy unit is currently in the same Location)...​
As there is still a broken HS Guard, no rearming is done. Once the HS Guard is eliminated in CC, there is only enough equipment to arm a HS (same rule citation). Who knows where the other weapons went?:dontknow

(Clue: check under the seats of that nearby Jeep...)
