I'd be interested in your thoughts. However I believe I may be able to guess the reasons for and against conventional troops actually live firing besides being put on detail to drag chutes at the riggers shop because nothing else was on the training docket for the day.
6 years with the 82nd Airborne and believe I only lived fired the M16, the M203 and M60 3 or 4 times in six years of AD service.
Most day's in garrison were spent cleaning a conex or getting haircuts at the SGM's request. I honestly dont think they trusted with live fire and or the budget that was in place at the time.
Just my .02
