You are assigned to different units and squadrons based on your strengths. For example, the excellent marksman become snipers and are assigned high power rifles in addition to small arms fire (Glock 22 or 9 mm). Beneath them are riflemen who are good shooters, but not quite up to the level of snipers. Then there are those whose strengths might be urban combat or house-to-house warfare. These are the type of people who are assigned shotguns. However, in the Marine Corps, every jarhead is trained to proficiency with an M16, M1A1, and usually an M14.
