Currently, soldiers who score expert on the Qualification range typically are not able to even hit a man-size target out to 200m in combat because they don't get enough trigger time in practical scenarios.
With training, they can become more effective with the current system, especially M855A1.
My prediction is that commanders won't support any efforts to increase time on the range or a competent NCO corps who have even been trained on the basic facts about the systems, let alone how to employ them.
It's pretty bad when you have Drill Sergeants who talk about the need to align the gas rings or the gun will blow up, or master gunners in the 82nd who have incorrect information about the AR15 family of weapons, and continue to spread false information as they are looked up to as an SME.
