Are you sure you're thinking of the C96? The C96 is the "broomhandle" Mauser pistol, and the projectile itself may travel out to 1,000 metres under the right circumstances, but the effective range is considerably less - around 50 - 75 metres. The only other Mauser rifle with a "96" nomenclature was the Swedish M/96 long rifle. That is a rifle capable of reaching out and touching something at 1000 metres - if the firer is able to place the shot. A more realistic effective range - particularly for a rifle using only iron sights - would be 600 - 800 metres.

How strong will the US military will be if they replaced all their M16s and M4s with the Mauser C96 carbine note the C96 has adjustable sights that reach 1000 meters?

The Mauser C96 is not a carbine - it's a pistol. Furthermore, the reason modern intermediate cartridge assault rifles were created stems largely from German research of their battles in the First World War, which found that most firefights occurred at ranges of less than 200 metres. And just because the sights adjust to 1000 metres, doesn't mean you'll actually hit a target at that range - most snipers won't even engage at such a distance, and a typical line soldier probably wouldn't be able to see the enemy at such a distance.
