The equalizer slot is one that I neglected for a while. When we all first started playing POC I dabbled with the machinegun/grenade turrets on hives a lil bit to help eat them up quicker. Used the Deathmachine on rhinos on the last stage a couple of times. the Mk32 in my opinion sucks but have some friends that love it.... In order for any of these above mentioned items to be useful to justify cost would require an investment of 4-7 skll points so you enjoy the full effect of chosen weapon unlike the riot shield. The riot shield has for too long been my item of choice because even if you don't invest a single point into it it still works as advertised.... it covers your a** when reviving or repairing and in front of you can distract a rhino or phantom long enough to have your buddies unload on it. The riot shield really shines when upgraded to +4 since you have 25 health on it and the added offensive ability to do a ton of fire damage when its in front of you. In many of my 5 relic runs I can "keep up" on kills with dual magnums and a maxed shield and a +3 sentry pretty easy, usually the engineer will outpace me with traps though. Try it out folks you might like it and the extra armour on your back for $700 is a sweet deal!
