Again it gets back to the fact that a "primary weapon" has its chance to hit modified by the number of men in the unit. So with two men at accuracy 1 (in the case of the base M16A1) they almost never hit, why even bother with a having a weapon it just makes the unit more expensive and is essentially useless.
Perhaps 28 for an M16A4 is a bit high, but it uses the same formula used to create the values when a weapon is used as both a primary and secondary.

Besides, these teams (ATGM, FO, MPAD, etc.) have limited ammo and are damn expensive (point wise) to be using as infantry.
