"Cooper also reported that tank and Bradley crews have started using captured enemy AK-47 rifles as crew protection weapons in close range fights in the reduced visibility of sandstorms. The crews are armed with 9 mm pistols, but the AK-47s work a lot better."
Is that the statement that gives you the impression that we dont have enough rifles? I looked through the bayarea.com article and it didnt say anything about running short unless I missed something. Mostly it said how some weapons were working very fine and other had some problems. Anyway correct me if I'm wrong but the articles say nothing about rifle shortage, only that Tank and Bradly crews prefer AK's over a pistol.
