Weapons I am not so sure about. The infantry guys have a different setup then the Marines I was around. Each service also has their own way of divying out weapons. I know with the Marines E5's and below usually were carrying around M4's. As far as rifle mounted flashlights and such, if the military thinks you MIGHT need it at least once they will give it to you, and you might find out it's extra weight, but that ONE time you do need it you will certainly be glad you have been lugging it around.
They will issue you the weapon at Bragg, and I do not think you will have much choice on what you get. Ammo I believe they issue before missions, if you use even a single round be prepared to have to make a report about it (don't let paperwork make you afraid of using your weapon though).
