The problem is the logistic, itīs easier to have a standard caliber (in this case the 7.62x39) for most of the weapons than having a mixture of cartridges.

Here's a picture of a Taliban with a G3 (probably of Pakistani manufacture, since Iranian G3s continue to have the old vented handguards).
Note the scope, itīs obviously used as a designated marksman rifle.

Seeing the these guys using anything bigger than an AK is scary. Instead of inaccurate rapid fire, troops get precise shots from a good rifle.
