Um, what?

The main rifle issued to U.S. infantrymen is M16 or the M4, it's Close Quarters Combat varient. Both of which are automatic. You'll only see automatic weapons (M60 machinegun and the SAW, I don't recall it's number designation) in squad support roles, and usually only one man per fireteam gets one.

Please have some idea of what you're talking about before you get into "real world" military.

The reason semi-automatic long range unscoped rifles and bolt action rifles, actually, the TWO reasons they were phased out are very simple. One is that favored weaponry is generally more all around. "Specific" weaponry is less used today then it was in WW2, which is why shotguns and long range rifles (not snipers) have been phased out (mostly, shotties are still used a little). The second, and better reason is that modern combat today takes place at ranges of less than 100 meters, which is why unscoped long range rifles have been phased out.
