Just a quick Navy story before I enjoy this vid. In the early '80's I was on the bridge of the USS Kalamazoo, AOR6, during general quarters drills in the N. Atlantic. Someone tossed a bright orange 55gal drum overboard and we cut circles around it at about 600 yards. Each member of the bridgewatch team got to fire 200 rds. of .50 cal from the port bridgewing mount. Well, a thousand rounds later the barrel bobbed along happily unhit by .50 bmg. A young man who had just become a Gunners Mate a couple of weeks before shouldered an M14 and fired three shots at it offhand. He then unloaded and safed his weapon and left the bridge. Yep, thirty seconds later the orange drum sank forever. It was the coolest thing ever.

I've always loved the performance of the M-14. I used a National Match version both as a member of the California Army National Guard State Rifle Team, and later on Combat Patrols as a SOT-A (Special Operations Team - Alpha) member in Afghanistan. The range and reliability of the M-14 is second to none, and certainly superior in many aspect to the M-4/M-16 series rifle. My 2 cents. SSG.

In 1968 I took my BCT at Ft. Bragg, NC We all had to qualify with the M-14, and as we were in the transition, we also qualified with the M-16A1. I qualified as Marksman in both. The M-14 was heavier more rugged, kicked a hell of a lot more, (sometimes a bruise in the arm), but we prefered it than the 16 which we called the Mattel rifle. Then in 1969 when deployed overseas, we were issued the M-16.

This really brings back memories from when I was in the army in the late 60s. We only had to fire familiarization on the 14, as the 16 had replaced it as the standard infantry rifle. After having only fired the 16 prior to my first firing of the 14, I was unprepared for the amount of recoil the 14 would generate. My first firing of it was in a crouch position, where I nearly fell backward due to the recoil - very embarrassing on the firing line!

Anything could replace the M2, it was very long making it poor for urban warfare, yet its low velocity (essentially a super long 9mm) made it poor in medium range engagements. The M3 was a nice close quarter SMG due to the 45ACP power and the small profile, but it had a very slow fire rate. For the needs at that time, the M14 was light enough, powerful enough, and high ROF to play the part of most small arms. Note that the purpose of SMG today is low penetration= low collateral damage.

The M16 has finally been pushed to it's technological limits in the form of the current M-16A4. Don't expect to see a newer version. This is it, until some completely new design comes along. Meanwhile, the M-14 inventory is still serving all branches of the armed forces. Granted, some have been refitted with aluminum stocks with pistol grips, sliding shoulder stocks, rail mounts, optics and bipods, while most are practically unchanged such as those found in shipboard armories and war reserve arsenals. All M-14 service rifles today, regardless of configuration, were of the 1.6 million manufactured and delivered by Springfield Armory between 1957 and 1965. Some of the guys carrying M14s in the high mountains of Afghanistan or aboard ships at sea are carrying weapons used by their grandfathers in wars and conflicts from the Dominican Republic to the Vietnam War. Expect them to be around while longer.

Brasstard 7.62 ~~ Good point, but I heard that the actual number of M-14s destroyed was under 200,000, and mainly in the form of rifle parts. About a quarter million were given as military aid to the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithonia, and Estonia, after the Russians pulled out of those countries with all of their small arms following the Soviet collapse. Those latter foreign aid M-14s were said to have been "purchased back" by the Bush administration soon after 9/11 to make up for the shortfall of small arms in a long range, hard hitting caliber needed in Afghanistan. The 750,000 number that you mentioned may include thousands of .45ACP M1A1 Thompson submachine guns and other perfectly good and serviceable weapons. Unfortunately, the Thompsons were dumped in the ocean with great media fanfare. Meanwhile, there seems to be plenty of M-14s in reserve arsenals, aboard ships in the Navy and Military Sealift Command, and in the field downrange. Commercial versions by Springfield Armory and Fulton Armory are said to meet or exceed mil-spec. No doubt they're tooled up for military contracts if and when the need arises.

The switch from the 7.62 M14 to the 5.56 M16 was made by the U.S. forces because it was decided long ago that a high powered rifle wasn't needed for most field operations. The newer weapon and its ammo are lighter, cheaper, easier to carry, and more manageable in rapid fire situations. The 62gr 5.56 round has enough power to pierce a standard infantry helmet at 600m, and no less lethal than the 7.62 in anti-personnel ops.

A gun is a gun, and bullets are bullets. The trade-off of ballistics and power is equal between these rounds, therefore both should be feared equally. It's much easier to engage multiple targets (lethally) and at a much longer range than an AK. Like I said it's a trade-off.. Both weapons in the hands of an expert are just as deadly as the other.

The M14 is a great battle rifle. It is accurate, hard hitting, reliable and can reach out to a great distance with more than adequate “take down” power. It is heavier than the more modern AR family of weapons used by the Army and the individual soldier can carry more ammo due to its lighter weight. Due to the power if the 7.62x51 round, the M14 is relatively uncontrollable when used on automatic fire, especially if one trues to fire from the shoulder. The video suggests that the M14 replaces the M1 Garand, the BAR, the M1 Carbine and the M3 Grease Gun. This was a lot of hype to get the M14 approved. A case could be made for it replacing both the M1 Garand and the BAR but no way in hell it would be a good substitute for a Carbine and an M3. These two weapons were not designed as battle rifles and had very different purposes. The carbine was intended to be more of a personal defense type weapon, primarily for use by support troops. The M14 use by support troops put them right back in the same situation the Carbine was meant to avoid. The M3 is a submachine gun. Largely employed by tank and armored crews who need to work within the close confines of their vehicles. It is interesting that these two weapons continued to be in widespread use long after the M14 was pretty much replaced by the M16 platform!

@wwood14 The difference actually is not in the propellant, the real change is actually an airspace. The extra half inch of the .30-06 was due to it originally being designed as the .30-03 round for the springfield 1903 rifle. The .30-03 used an outdated, less powerful propellant and was replaced by the .30-06. Since the machines already existed to produce .30-03, they just continued using the cases, with a half inch of space behind the bullet. The M14 round simply does away with the airspace

I simply would choose it over an M4 because the M14 is essentially an M1 Garand fussed with a Browning Automatic Rifle, and in my opinion, the M1 is the greatest battle rifle of all time. It's more accurate and has more punch, yet it still can be a decent full-auto weapon. The only problem is of, course, it's relatively low ammo capacity and it's size.

It is a real pity that the US Military was so deluded to think the M-14 could replace not just the M1 Garand Service Rifle, but also the BAR LMG, the M1 Carbine, and the M3 SMG. Just the freaking huge size of the Rifle’s gas operation system alone should have been a clue that the BEST that could have been hoped for was to have a base for a LMG, Service Rifle, and MAYBE a Carbine. But given the power of the 7.62x51NATO round, that "carbine," like the current M1A SOCOM, would have a freakishly powerful recoil, making it terribly difficult to control AS a Carbine. As for an LMG, it should have been highly suitable in that capacity with a slightly heavier barrel, and stock-assembly. The Squad Automatic version of the Rifle was a decent try at doing this, but purely a pistol-grip wasn’t really sufficient for a Squad Support Weapon, or LMG. That heavier barrel and stock was really needed, adding at least another 2 - 3 lbs to the Rifle to make it more controllable than the M-14 turned out to be in FA Fire. But getting to the SMG expectation... If the M-14 would have made for a nearly uncontrollable Carbine due to the increased recoil, and decreased weight of a Carbine M-14, then it should have been freakishly obvious that expecting it to replace the M3 Grease Gun was a fantasy to whomever conceived of it. The M2 Carbine provided a base for what could have been a perfectly acceptable SMG by shortening its barrel, and creating a sturdier Folding Stock (Maybe a Folding Stock that folds under and forward, locked on both sides of the rear stock). THAT would have allowed for a more streamlined Logistics Trail, while not expecting stupid things from the M-15 Platform. But ultimately, despite my love of the M1 Garand Platform, which includes the M-14, the development of the AR platform by Stoner meant that the M-14’s life as a Service Rifle was doomed. It is also a pity that the AR-3/AR-11 did not go into production, as they retain a more traditional rifle configuration. The .222 chambered AR-11 could have very easily been converted to 5.56NATO/.223. I wonder if I can find Blueprints for it. It would be an interesting project to try to make one. Using regular resin or Plastic Extruded 3D printing provides a means to test the operation of a Rifle by using just primer powered blanks (and a muzzle-constriction device to simulate a bullet being involved). But that would allow for tolerances to be tested, and for the configuration of things like magazine-fit and round-feeding, as well as the operation of the gas-system.

If you do check closely on the G28 (HK) & R0923CQB (Colt), they're realy pretty much the same, the one fires a 5.56 mm NATO and the other a 7.62 mm NATO.

The only reason we switched from the m14 to the m16 is for more consistent fire rates and to send more lead down range, you just cant send it with the m14 like you can an m16

I don't own any German guns. I have a Glock though, which is close. I also own German shotgun ammunition. I've always been impressed by how well Germans build things whenever you guys put your mind to it - nothing ever cheap and shotty that I can think of. Even those German engineered DAS keyboards are great. What other German things do I own...Klasse AIO, Lamy Safari, Montblanc, and Henkle. You guys are awesome :) I want to hug a German :)
