Current doctrine is use what you trained with. In some extreme cases, using the enemies weapons/ammo may be a necessity, however this is more an exception.
My cousin is on the ground in Iraq. I've had a number of conversations with him and his words are he has fired less than 4 mags in any engagement. Air-support or armor is always fairly close at hand and on-call. The AK's he has examined are basically junk and shot out.

I guess my optimistic logical logistics was more geared to the rare type engagements where air and armour arent readily at hand...I guess even then [Somalia for ex] our guys still never 'ran out' completely...
As was mentioned above, just the thought of bubbas handloads give me the willies, not to mention babalous' stuff...
even I aint that cheap...
thanks much...
