Talk:M14 Rifle
Additional Variants
.jpg){kind=link}
The military stopped issuing F/A M14's because they were too hard to control, existing rifles were fixed to fire semi only.
M14
I don't know what made the founder of IMFDB to use an M14 as part of the logo of IMFDB. I don't know if I could get the M14E2. It's kinda hard to get. - 98.234.123.141 21:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)(Crysis)
I knew people who used the E2 type stocks on M14s and M1As. They preferred the higher cheek line in service rifle target shooting competition.
M21
That's not an M21, it's an M1A
- It's an M21 now. ~ DK
M14E2
I cut off the bit about it being meant to supplement the B.A.R. it was actually designed to replace it all together.

- And I undid your edit. What counts is how it was fielded. It actually was issued to supplement the M60s which was the GPMG of the American forces, and though it may have been designed to replace the BARs we issued to the ARVNs, the BAR was technically an obsolete weapon already by that time. The M14E2 was to supplement existing BARs in the ARVN. As far as American forces go, BARs were only seen really early in the war on the U.S. Side and primarily by USMC units. By that time the doctrine called for a General Purpose Machine Gun and select fire assault rifles. The BAR no longer fit the US military's goals. MoviePropMaster2008 07:33, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia claims that the M14E2 was redesignated M14A1 in 1966. Is there any reason we still refer to it as E2? Kadorhal 15:45, 16 May 2012 (CDT)
Congo
How come the m14 that was used in congo isnt on the site
- I haven't seen Congo in years. Was there something special about it? I looked at the screencaps on the Congo page and it doesn't really look particularly unique. Also, sign your posts by putting four tildes (~) at the end. Spartan198 01:08, 18 February 2012 (CST)
EBR Mod 0/1, EMR?
What's the difference between the Mk. 14 Mod 0 and the Mod 1? Is it just that they have different extras attached? Likewise, what's the difference between an EBR and an EMR? As I understood it, an EBR has a shorter barrel, can fire full auto and is generally used by the US Navy, specifically the SEALS, while an EMR has a longer barrel, is semi-auto only and is used by the USMC. Seeing pix like the one further up this page, referring to guns with the longer barrels as EBRs makes me wonder if I've got it right. How do you tell the difference? --Stix
