What's the best way to tighten up technic friction pin joints used for mecha?

rectangular cutouts) holding the shoulders and hips of my new mech together.
The shoulders hold poses quite adequately with nothing in the mech's hands.
However, when i give him a big gun to hold, his shoulder slowly drops.  Is
there any easy way to tighten this joint up, or am I going to have to resort
to something bizarre with rubber bands or something?
