Seriously you would want them to carry an M4 and then another AR pistol? Why not just shoot them with the M4?
That leads to an interesting point, with that little M4 available what would (should) the military expect of a pistol for general issue anyway? Personally I wouldn't want to bring a pistol to an assault weapon fight. Firepower, accuracy, body armor, weak cover and all that sort of stuff.
