Sure the troops HAVE pistols, but they're not using them as their primary weapon, are they? More of a short range one on one situation I would imagine.

My point is assault rifles can kill a lot more people at a much faster rate than a hand gun or semi-automatic rifle. I don't see how that can be argued. If they didn't kill at a higher rate, they wouldn't be used. They're not used for their accuracy.
