Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: M14 Msg# 1187749

| The military has the Knight's Armament SR-25 which is an AR10. I’m not saying the M14/M1A is a bad gun, just pointing out that the military chose to go in a different direction. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I would add that I don't know many people--hardly any, really, who love the AR10, while I've heard a ton of people say they love the M14/M1A. Since the AR10 really doesn't exist as a select fire rifle anymore, we are talking civilians. The M14 actually has also seen military use recently. It was used quite a bit as a DMR in the Middle East, primarily because of the deficiency of the 5.56mm at longer ranges. I suppose the military could have purchased AR10s, but that would have been stupid since they still possess M14s in inventory. |
