That list indicates a logistical nightmare. Four rifles using three different cartridges. Two different pistols, 2 MG's in 2 different chamberings, 2 different grenade launchers using different ammo, etc, etc. Whoever made that decision should be fired as a minimum.

I don't know if that guy should be fired, or promoted!
It depends on what the REAL mission statement was, not what the public mission statement was...
Perhaps the idea was that while it is a logistical nightmare, from one point of view, it is a boon from another.
The diversity of ammo used pretty much ensures that what ever is 'found" can be used by at least some of their weapons, no matter which side it originally came from.
IS there any significant ammo manufacture in the country? Going by what I see on the news, the only thing Afghanistan seems to produce in quantity is opium, dust, and violent religious fanatics.
