However, they are qualifying with either the M16A4 or the M4 depending on height of individual and availability.

"During phase two of training, recruits spend two weeks training with the M16-A4. The recruits fire from different shooting positions at the 200-, 300-, and 500-yard lines. Later, the recruits are also tested on combat marksmanship techniques. They must quickly identify their targets and hit moving targets from 100 yards away. The scores from these two tests are added together for the recruits' final rifle qualification scores."
