So something more akin to a AR-18 which is more stamped with a internal assembly similiar to an AK. I do not see the US switching to AKs but rather sticking to something American simply for the purpose of using as one of their main weapons a home designed and manufactured weapon.
Also, rather than a M3 Greasegun, I would think the MAC series of submachineguns would be much easier to produce and use less materials too.
As for pistols, for a little bit more you can make a MAC 10 or MAC 11, it would simplify the aresenal if you could keep the number of additional weapons to a minimuim for ease of logistics, training, repair and resupply, as well as similiar manufacturing considerations.
However, if pistols were wanted. I could see them being personaly purchased by individuals in the military much like was the case for many armies through the centuries where officers were required to provide their own sidearms.
