Uhh, I'd content that one can do a lot more damage with an M-16 than a 9mm 92F. Rate of fire and accuracy come to mind, here.
Which might explain why they are carrying the M-16s in some places to begin with.

you'd be right if ammunition weren't a factor. i contend that i could do more damage with my ten round clip in a handgun that i could with an auto. the standard clips are 30 round, which runs out very fast and is hard to disperse over a wide target range before it runs out (think crowd of people).
also, i wasn't envisioning these being used as rifles in an assault (the accuracy factor). they would be far more deadly if used that way. i was thinking more of someone spraying a crowd from the hip with automatic fire.
