Easy to change the upper on an AR-15 platform weapon as well; it's just two pins out, swap, two pins in, shoot. Not that anyone is going to be carrying a separate upper into combat for the occasion, that would be silly.
"They" probably do carry specialized uppers; but you won't see "them" changing them out in combat. If they have a need for two different rifles, they'll carry two different rifles.
