Roughly $7,000 a piece for a 9mm submachine gun.

It would still be a ripoff at a tenth that cost.
I expected nothing better.

I could see how it could get out of hand just have the O-3 approve purchases, any if the solder wants anything not within that budget, just ask O-3 or he can buy it himself, I know a lot of civies who would love to give these guys simple stupid stuff like this, I also think the USO has a program for this.

Like 2500 USD in leafland for one.

its a cost thing, the US military literally chose the AR platform so logistics could simply replace parts more easily and there was less "variation" in specialist parts that didn't need to be specialized.
this dates back to the 1960s when Kennedy's administration went ham and saved a lot of military over-site form have role dedicated firearms to having a single platform with role dedicated parts.
most of small arms development like the beloved rail system came from this line of thought, I'm certain Brittan has its own version but this has and is working well for the US military. the AR platform was specifically made by stoner with this in mind hence its minimalist design.

half of the threads on Zig Forums are just people complaining about how much money the US needlessly spends.

If anything a modernized grease gun would be nice, not saying the military wouldn't fuck that up too though.
