Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: M14 Msg# 1187676

Yeppers! I never understood the whininess that came out of the Pentagon about the M14 being to difficult to fire on full auto. I have fired a BAR on full auto, and I didn't find the .30-06 too difficult to handle that way. It just takes a little technique, which can't be that difficult to teach?
Just imagine if we had kept the M14, and the AR15 whithered on the vine. Today all the 25,000,000,000 AR15 fans would all own semi-auto M14s. I guess they would call it the AR14? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The select fire version made every rifleman a BAR man. Think about the volume of fire a squad of 12 men could lay down! Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: M14 Image Info: Perhaps the best rifle ever fielded by the US military, the M14 came along at least ten years too late....  |
