I find it amazing that the M14's dominance ended at a BBQ water-melon blasting party with Colt and the US Air Force.
I suppose that's one way to look at it...but there is a lot more to it, of course. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I find it amazing that the M14's dominance ended at a BBQ water-melon blasting party with Colt and the US Air Force. Ya know, for being the junior service The Air Force has an outsized influence on the development of mainline infantry rifles. Since I've actually had a variant of the M-1, the Scout, I can attest that it wasn't that unwieldy. Felt recoil... was there and if I were in an all day firefight, I'd want a massage afterward and probably some icing down, but then I'd probably be meaner and fighting harder. |
