Long guns like AR15 aren’t ideal for combat inside a building. An officer on scene would be better using a pistol.
America has a weird obsession with the AR15 as a solution for everything.
Even the military is moving away from it to the smaller M4 version.

The US military is going to the XM5 rifle in the coming years

Yup. My thoughts on why:
M6 used in every US conflict since c. 1950, so lots of cultural exposure.
‘MilSpec’ is paradoxically a desirable gold seal for Average Joe USA, especially because it’s American Made.
Tons of aftermarket kit for the platform, lots sold by the same shareholders that influence US military policy (surprise!).
Recoil is barely a thing-It’s incredible if you’ve only shot handguns, shotguns and larger bore hunting rifles, which I expect is most newbie shooters. -
