As much as we all may wish otherwise, the units in the US in 2000 will be armed with whatever can be scrounged up for them. We already know from the existence of the M16EZ that top, or even mediocre quality weapons are in rather short supply, what with the huge demand in Europe, Korea, the middle east and Alaska (not to mention Texas). We also know that the battlefields in Northern America didn't open up until relatively late in the war when most units had already left the country (taking everything military related that wasn't nailed down).
So, I see many units will have a mix of weapons taken from a variety of sources. There will be attempts to equip units along authorised lines, but until Omega lands (bringing all those personal weapons which you can bet won't stay in the hands of those discharged from service) many soldiers will consider themselves lucky to have a weapon capable of automatic fire.
