Simple question

can soldiers who are deployed buy/use there own rifles/sidearms?
(ie buy a m-16 and use it instead of a C7)

I tried 3 searches
unfortuantley the three I tried did not turn up anything
and the first two pages of this forum did not answer my question.


And the reason I was unsure is a fellow from the Reserves (Corpral) said that he himself had purchased a weapon to replace the C7 which he despised.

He is outright lying to you if he says he is using it instead of his issued wpn.  People get their own sights, vertical grips, handguards, lights etc. but the basic C7 is not mechanically modified to change how it operates.

He didn't say he had used it (he is on leave for medical reasons) rather that he had planned on it
(and he suggested that I also purchase my own as I am considering the Reserves)
