IIRC it was something to do with the bismuth interacting with powder and primer residue.
And don't be surprised if military guns are less decked out than yours they are built to costs.
Also remember that it's how often you clean your barrel and how many rounds you fire.
The M855A1 was designed to used in both assault rifles and LMGs so something like a SAW would fire 1000s of rounds before it can be properly cleaned up.
Even an M4 would probably be much less cared for while on active duty than your match grade rifle.
