M4A1 lower. though every lower gets a 14 inch and a 20 inch upper. twist rates and ammo selection matched and optimated with barrels for roles. long barrel for when you are out in the field and expecting long range engagements. short barrel for urban. short barrel upper also comes with a suppressor that can be removed or attached by user. aimpoints for short upper and acog for long upper.
+p+ solid copper hollow points for service pistols. goes through armor that isn't a IV plate still expands like a hollow point should in flesh. all service pistols will have threaded barrels. suppressors and subsonic ball ammo used as needed. all service pistols will have tritium iron sights that co witness with mounted RMR optic.
lightweight telescoping ammo LMG. eclan sight.20 inch barrel, twist rate and ammo for longer range combat.

So that's why the govt was buying up all the .22
Most weapons choices are actually good.
The only thing I'd modify is having the mp7 in greater use, especially in places where the likelihood of using a weapon is low.
The army could also try to petition NATO to change the official pistol cartridge from 9mm to 4.6mm so thy could field pistols in that caliber.

Assault Rifle/Battlerifle
Multiple Blunderbusses for each soldier
DMR:
Couple of shortbarrelled, rifled blackpowders
LMG:
Multiple muskets tied together for sequential firing
sidearm:
black powder pistol but as many as you can strap to yourself
advantages?
you rip enemies to shreds when the balls find their targets
with that many guns strapped to your body you don't need body armor. and if a bullet hits one of the guns, its only one out of order
disadvantages:
element of surprise is gone after one shot
targets must be within 50 inches

Thank you. We need someone who breathes with their nose in every military thread apparently. We don't have to use ball ammo, are already using hollow point ammo in some cases, in our current theaters based off the enemy we're fighting even if we had signed the treaty that we didn't sign. Fuck. At least they didn't say Geneva this time.

None. I would ask for manufactures to submit plans for new designs. The caliber would be non specified, to encourage some truly innovative designs.
>>33286143
M14 is a DMR, M110 is a sniper rifle. The cost of an M110 makes it far too impractical to issue as a DMR.
The new M2010 is now the army's boltgun of choice, and it is actually breddy gud.
You now know that the CAR15, and after that, the m4, was introduced to replace the MP5.
Personally my crazy picks would probably just be moving the Army to a 6.5 cal set of weapons.
Pistols don't matter.
