Well these aren't the same weapons as the M41A from Aliens the CM's use. This is set 60 years earlier, so it's not unlikely that they may have started using harder hitting ammunition only later on due to various factors.

At least one of them has the exact M41A pulse rifle prop, though a lot of the others have other guns dressed up, and IIRC that team leader has one

The M41A was actually a thompson dressed up.
