Test of time? 60 years?
Let's think of a weapon that was popular 500 years ago. The crossbow? When's the last time you saw a crossbow? I remember seeing one in a museum. That's where AK's will be in 500 years... not in the hands of armor-clad super soldiers.
An AK in a Halo game wouldn't be as satisfying as the other weapons, and wouldn't fit. Bungie can balance their Halo games because they make all the weapons from scratch, and don't have to worry about reality.
I don't quite agree with your crossbow comparison. 500 years ago projectile weapons had a hell of a lot more to improve upon considering their rate of fire, accuracy, and stopping power.
I'm not a gun expert but it doesn't seem like the AR, pistol, SMG or shotgun are that much more advanced than current fire arms.
