Okay, I'm going to completely tear this vote apart now.

First off is weapon edges. Tell, how exactly does a rifle that has recoil like a D'eagle compete with a weapon that is 2 pounds lighter, a faster rate of fire, farther range, and more accurate blast? You got this whole "but the AK has reliability and power", and yet you forget that the M4A1 ain't exactly a bean shooter. Then the pistols. Handguns aren't meant for sharpshooting, they're meant for blasting a lot of rounds into someone at close range and moving on. The quick draw is helpful, but a bigger round and larger mag would make the true goal of a pistol easily.

Then there is the X-factor BS. You said he survived WWII and more brutal combat situations? Price is SAS, and they get into way dirtier comflicts that a normla WWII-era ground soldier. Smaller-scale wars my @$$. He's not only gone up against guerilla fighters, but highly trained Spetsnaz spec ops, Shadow Company, etc. He's been forced to retake an entire story without almost any support aside from Soap and Yuri, and he does so with ease.
