Other SEALs are also seen using the rifles in Iraq.
TRIVIA: Chris Kyle, in a piece for Soldier of Fortune wrote that he "took the lower receiver off [his] (sic) M-4 and put it on the upper receiver of [his] Mk-12. That gave [him] a collapsible stock and allowed [him] to go full-auto." By stating that he could "go full-auto", he very clearly meant an M4A1 Carbine , not the burst fire only M4 Carbine , but some use "M4" as an umbrella term to refer to both. Additionally, he could have simply put a collapsible stock and full auto trigger pack on his Mk-12, he didn't need to change the lower for that, it was likely just done as it'd be easier than cannibalizing parts off of an M4A1.

In real life, Kyle's Springfield TRP Operator was a personal sidearm of choice during his first tour before it was damaged by shrapnel, prompting him to switch to a modern design sidearm onward on his later tours.
