JGarcia, SSG Praslick told us at the long range match last year that the purpose of these events (Benning pistol, rifle, and All-Army Small Arms) is to encourage any regular Joe to become more interested in marksmanship and ultimately improve their skills, pass those down to their units and so on. For $30, you get to shoot from multiple positions and scenarios with provided ammo, and you also get top notch instructions from USAMU and have the chance to win many prizes at different categories. It doesn't get any better than that IMHO (well...except when you shoot with and/or get taught by QP)
Consequently, AMU folks (and other pros) either don't compete or only allowed to compete in the pro class, in which they are not eligible for the prizes.

IIRC, all competitors were also given mk262 as opposed to M855. That's how some of those high scores were achievable, even with rack-grade rifles.
