In other words, is there a rule against having dopplegangers copy weapon and armor proficencies or would that be a DM's call? -VP-

Nor do they gan proficiency in wielding weapons or wearing armor a mimicked form wields/wears -- to do that, they need to get those feats themselves, same as any other character.
