I'm not sure where you are getting this. As early as the 1937
KStN 131a (R) (2.11.1937)
the basic Gruppe was 7 KAR 09, 1 MG34 and 2 Pistolen
By the 1944
K.St.N.131V (1.11.1944)
the basic Zug was 2 Sturm Gruppen of 7 Stgw 44 0r and a 3rd Gruppe of 5 Stgw 44 & 2 MG42.
That's organic squad fire support with a standard load-out of 1200 rounds of MG ammunition.
