    General Quarters: U.S. Navy M14 Rifles

    I agree...I'm done with that whacko. I carried the M14 for most of my tour in Vietnam and never had a problem, not one. I had nothing but problems with the M16 which was common at that time at least in the Marine Corps. I'd like to know how many people out there carried the automatic version and...

    Listen to yourself LOL....you are as full of crap as a Christmas goose. You sound like you're drunk. Did you have to man up with a few drinks to keep it going. Actually, you are just nuttier than squirrel ****. Were you in the Army? Air Force? Civil Air Patrol, the National Guard? You are...

    General Quarters: U.S. Navy M14 Rifles

    Are you back? I thought you took your little ball and went home.... What outfit were you in in Vietnam? How about those non-existent 30 round magazines you talked about? Where was your AO in Vietnam? Sure, I can say Semper Fi but not to an ignorant plastic banana like yourself. You won't make...

    So long C. Sumpin....you won't tell me the outfit you were in because you weren't there. You are pathetic and you lied repeatedly about things you should have known....i.e. the 20 round magazines. You say things that don't make sense then you get mad when someone calls you out.

    Hansy....Be truthful now....Have you ever been to Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam? Hans sez: And if you don’t think 5.56 is lethal at over 225 yards, would you volunteer to catch one at 250 to prove it? I think what the Army thinks.....THE ARMY says it's non lethal...get that Hansy....THE ARMY...

    C Sumpin....Say Sumpin.....there you go again making false statements and accusations. When were you in Vietnam? What outfit were you with? Where was your AO? C Sumpin Sez: >>>There were very few opportunities for 225 or 500 meter shots in the Nam, plus, a key very effective tactic in the Nam...

    General Quarters: U.S. Navy M14 Rifles

    In Vietnam we carried the M-14 with two magazines....in the rifle... taped together....40 rounds. No matter the weight it was comforting to know that enemy didn't out gun us. Like anything else, you get used to it over time. The heaviest weapon I ever fired was the BAR...I would not want to...

    General Quarters: U.S. Navy M14 Rifles

    Well, Hans...you just can't argue with physics...the 5.56 is NOT effective against an enemy past 500 meters. Actually, it's a lot less than that according to tests run by the Army. Those tests showed the 5.56 round were only able to kill an enemy at >225 meters. I've never been to...

    C. Sumpin....Say Sumpin...right? The article you posted (link above) written by a guy named Gao....probably a member of the CCP...smearing the M-14 is insultingly stupid. "Gao" states that the M-14 is "inaccurate".....LOL. Tell that to the thousands of Marines that qualified with that rifle in...

    General Quarters: U.S. Navy M14 Rifles

    The 5.56x45mm round was unsuitable for Afghanistan....they discovered that past 500 meters that round had a lethality problem. They found the enemy had the advantage on U.S. forces because they were carrying rifles firing the 7.62x54mm and getting hits at a much greater distance. You may be able...
