Logically speaking if one kind of main combat rifle, which also logically would be designed to be durable, adaptable, and modifiable, is not prevalent in a nations armed forces another equally appropriate rifle will find its way into circulation.
I can't in good conscience argue against the modern assault rifle being the prevalent weapon because it simply is the best option and if there wasn't one in my army.....I would push for one.

Here you're confusing best with cheapest. Assault/combat rifles are prevalent in the world's armed forces because they are the cheapest mass produced weapon with the necessary performance. If small man portable FFAR rocket pods were cheapest to effectively field en mass, they'd most likely be the main weapon carried by troops instead. So when it comes to equipping military forces, it's always at the lowest most cost efficient levels. So once again, don't confuse best with cheapest.
Do you really believe that to be the case..... how controllable would that be in the hands of armed forces, how adaptable and durable, and dependable would those be over a conventional rifle.

I feel safer with a gun. More portable too. I went infantry rifleman in RL because I don't trust machinery more complex than a rifle when it comes to my own body.
My point exactly. Something reliable, adaptable, and compact that will operate when and where you need it to.
