Would the US Army/US Marine Corps be fighting the Taliban government or the Taliban insurgency on these maps?

I would like to know, because some of the weapons used by the US Army/US Marine Corps were invented after or during the time that the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. Therefore, it wouldn't have been used as it was being designed.

I know Wikipedia isn't a good source, but it gives some information..
The M40A3 used by the Marine Corps (from PR Guide) was developed in 1996, and was fully revealed in 2001.. Also, the Taliban government ruled Afghanistan from 1996-2001..
Also, the M14 DMR used by the Marine Corps was introduced in 2001.

Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) is the official name used by the U.S. Government for its contribution to the War in Afghanistan, together with three smaller military actions, under the umbrella of its Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The operation was originally called "Operation Infinite Justice", (often misquoted in news articles and political commentary as "Operation Ultimate Justice") but this phrase had previously been restricted to the description of God (among followers of several faiths), and it is believed to have been changed to avoid offense to Muslims. On October 5, 2006, NATO officially took over control of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
