As of the use of US made fire arms like M4's and others, many unconventional warfare corps use them. I don't see how it can be surprising. For instance, Italian UW units, like COMSUBIN ( navy) and 9th regiment Col. Moschin ( Army) use them
IIRC, there's a comment on the identify unit thread "where's the FAMAS?"

The movie tanked with critics, same critic that lambasted Act of Valor. Now, while it may be a recruiting tool with infil galore, IMHOO that movie pays true homage to SEAL honor, and the never-quit-git-r-done mindset.
