Well for a lot of GIs, the "M4 thingy" is all you have. Only selective people in the military are given sidearms and it depends on their jobs. The vast majority of the armed forces used M16s and only selective members of the squad gets M4s depending on the mission.

It's not like games or tv and movies where every military guy gets a rifle and a handgun. There's actually not enough handguns in the military to go around
