All valid points from above. I would say, Arrow, that you need to figure out what the mission is for your guy. Behind enemy lines, a bad guy weapon will do. If its an assault, a good guy weapon. Additionally, a couple of things to consider.
1) Take Rambo 2 and 3, how often is he seen with an AK? AK=bad guy weapon for Westerners.
2) Look at any episode of GI Joe. Revenge of Cobra, Duke and SE both pick up cobra rifles and attempt to blast their way out of the cobra temple.
3) GI Joe the Movie: the Renegades raid Cobra's armory and blast their way out with Viper rifles.
4) Spec Ops will use whatever is handy and our guys will go into the field with whatever they deem necessary. You had Navy SEALS in Nam going into the Jungles with AKs so they could use the ammo of those they killed.
Anyway, I understand your dilemma. For me, M-16s equal Joes, or the XMLR-1 or 3 that the Joes favored in the cartoon. For Cobra, AKs and G-36s. But I will arm Outback and Brawler with AK-74s since they go behind enemy lines
