For an infantry company, its surprising the number of different weapons that you would find in the arms rooms. I've seen everything from M-21s to Remington 870s to M1911A1s (years after the blessed Berretta cursed our Army), M-16A1s (years after they were supposed to be turned in for conversion), M-60s and M240s....even M202s.
NCOs were always being pulled for inspections, and it always seemed that some field-grade officer had signed the paperwork for an exception to TO&E.
