i'd say if the m14 did not have the traditional rifle grip (replace it with a similer butstock of the m16 family with a similer grip.) it would probably be still used as the main combat rifle for the us military. but the m1 grand dose have it's place as one of histories finest rifles.
@xxxCRAZYLOVExxx m14 ebr is the retarted cousin that made love to the even more retarted m1 carbine and had a gastly sexual relationship for 9 months.
@SNSkIcKaSs LMAO, thats like throwing a rock into the ocean and saying "Dont, you are going to hit a fish in the head!!" HAHAHAHA, god, some people are so dumb, making dumb comment of vids that they dont even have the whole picture of.
@SpecialOps1337 Thats not an "issue" thats just a poorly made up myth by people who dont know what they were talking about. All you do is manually eject the clip by pressing the clip release button on the left side of the reciever, and insert a new one. Or, you can dd single rounds to the clip while its loaded in the magazine, though this is difficult, its better to simply take out the the clip, and insert a new one, its way faster, and laughably easier.
@bboytobz332 Agree, it sucks that hard working ppl have to pay taxes to support women that have 8 kids from 10 guys and the taxpayee gets nothing. I despise Obama, he thinks he knows what we want when we tell him we dont want that and desire the complete opposite. The fact that he sided with the muslims on the Victory mosque....
@The1FastGP the victory mosque?! i was joking dude...and the mosque was a symbol of peace and freedom of religion (a certain ammendment). could you not tell i was joking with those ridiculous statements.
@SpecialOps1337 Umm,,You can reload the M1 Garand, top it off, reload when magazine is not fully empty. Shows how much you know. Go back to playing online games.
@eifersucht2 wrong. The m14 and the m21 are the same exact gun but by law of Springfield armory, when any type of optical scope that has some sort of zoom on it is placed on an m14 it then becomes an m21
@Mypankakesturbo acually no... well, just because it has a scope on it doesn't mean it makes it an m21, just like how a scope mounted on an m4 makes it a sniper. i could be wrong.
@Mypankakesturbo haha wrong . m14 ha has a vertical recoil system when fired.. m21 does not. m14 can switch to automatic. m21 is specifically semi auto.
Don't know why I take the time to answer ppl like you. There us a 300 ft. mountain face that is straight up and down with about 20, 3 foot caves on it. It is on private property in a national forest. It is an actual shooting range. They are far from "idiots with experience" I hope you can undestand what I'm telling you.
chetaloris1 >>>>i dunno mqn..and shooting into a national forest..somebody could be hiking or camping.....i live in a national forest in kentucky..and i would never fire into it...ALWAYS SE WHERE THE BULLET HITS is what is was tought as an 8 year old

Lol guess u found ur answer semperfi211. They are shooting on private property in a national forest so yah there is plenty of uninhabited. And again they were shooting at a mountain side that cannot be seen in the vid.
Absolutely not, an M21 has to be made to exacting specifications to earn the designation of M21. You can read about it online and even find the specs.
if you put a scope on an M16 is it an M110? No, because they are two weapons that are totally different but look alike. Same thing with an M14 and M21. The M21 is much more accurate and doesn't have the option of fully automatic. Those aren't the only differences but two of the main ones
um.. no.. an m21 is basically an accurized M14. And this probably isn't an M14, probably an M1A (unless he's lucky enough to own a select-fire model).
The m16 (AR type rifle) may be the best known but if I had to choose a rifle to defend my life I'd pick a Garand over EVERY musket, rifle, & shotgun the U.S. government has used from the revolutionary war until yesterday.
Still in service today though, it's a freaking beast. A friend i used to play a game online with has his dads old M14 from vietnam, still has the fun button (full auto).
but designated marksman in the us marine corps use the m14 DMR or now they might use the m39 EMR which i haven't heard much about. i guess marsoc or navy seals use this rifle the most.
I really am into WWII weapons. great video. i was wondering why nobody has made a complete video about how to clean an M1 from start to finish, i bet it would be awesome

@kabenzi Hello sir. When you are shooting a post-1986 rifle with a ten round mag, it is allowed to be removable, correct? It is only past 10 that it has to be fixed, right? Thank you.
Please read all posts before saying shit like "nice gun safety, what were they shooting at". Between the two they have over 70 yrs of shooting experience.
I already posted earlier that they were shooting at a mountain side with several small caves at about 200 yrds away. Keep in mind this is on private property in a national forest.
Seriously? You got shit for brains! Who the fuck shoots clay pigeons with rifles, Jack Ass! They shoot clay pigeons with shotguns and Trap Shot, Theycallme47 More like they call you Jackass
yeah but arent they more likely to be shooting a target than hitting the side of a mountain what target do u shoot up into the air clay pigeons i know their for fucking shotguns but its not the law twat
Just because they are MORE likely to be shooting a target doesn't mean that they ARE. They might be shooting at other things like birds for instance. Shooting at clay pigeons with a scope makes no damn sense because you would only get it for a moment and then it's gone. Plus a clay pigeon moves and their bodies are not in any sort of motion (besides the recoil). And, quit calling people twats I don't care if you know or think you know what it means, it's getting annoying.
At my local range there are "gongs" set at 100 and 300 yards on the side of a hill. It is quite possible they were shooting uphill at some sort of target. I know I use clay pidgeons as distance targets. Nice bright color and usually shatter on impact. It sure is amazing how nasty people get over the most trivial things on youtube. Have a great one folks :-)
The M-14 was way ahead of it's time and used ammo that was proven to eliminate targets in one fatal shot. It also is a very accurate rifle, which is why the Marines use it today as their DMR. It was only phased out because it was hard to control because of the shape of the grip and stock and when Full-Auto was used.The ammo was heavy too. The M-16 WAS originally a failure because of vietnam conditions, it got dirty and jammed. The M-16 DOES NOT do a good job of providing single fatal shots.
Just had to drop a quick note. The reason for the 1 shot stop problem is the ammo. Ball ammo in a .22 cal diameter at the speeds coming from the M16/AR15 does not cause a huge amount of shock. Tho the tendancy to bouch around inside the target can cause quite a abit of damage. In my line of work there have been 2 uses of deadly force in the last few years. Both with the AR15 variant and both were 1 shot stops. The dif? We use soft point ammo.
The Garand is stronger than the M-14! But it only can hold 8 rounds plus it´s semi, while the M14 is full auto and semi but it´t not as strong as the M1.
Actually they aren't. Here's why: 1. the M-14 has a detachable mag, the M-1 Garand has a clip. 2. the M-14 shoots 7.62 X 51 otherwise known as 7.62 NATO, the M-1 Garand shoots 30-06 "thirty aut six". 3. the M-14 was designed in 1954, the M-1 Garand was designed in 1932. Cosmetically they do look similar, although the M-1 Garand has more wood and weighs more I believe.
Ah...I see I see. Thanks for the info buddy. I just always thought they were kinda the same in a way. But the M14's design is based on the M1 Garand though. I'd like to purchase an M14 for Christmas but I dont know where to look lol.
Well, you can't purchase an M-14 legally because it is an army rifle. You can however buy its civilian equivilant which is called the M1A, try looking that up on places like gunbroker(.)com and maybe at local gun shops. I recently got one and I love the hell out of it, great hunting gun too.
ok maybe they werent shooting at clay pigeons its one suggestion but their far more likely to be shooting a clay pigeon than you are a mountain u twat and dont act like u know what one is
I do know what a twat is, I hope you don't think you made up the word, someone beat you to it. Ever heard of UrbanDictionary. Who's to say they are shooting at the side of a mountain if it's his land he can do what the hell he wants. People like yourself who have to be an ass on the internet over something so pointless are pissing me off, and like the horrible state of California, we should just "REMOVE".
you can buy an M14 that has had the full auto removed, I have owned two of them, bit they are hard to find, the M1A does fire the same round 7.62x51mm or .308 caliber
Nope. Not even a semi-auto M14. By law, once a machine gun, always a machine gun. There's no way around it, other than selling it as a parts kit without the receiver, which until destroyed, will always technically be a machine gun.
well, I have two fully functioning M14's that are semi-automatic, and on both you can tell were the auto selector use to be. One is a Poly-Tech and the other is is an auto ordnance
Then they weren't legally fully automatic at any point, and if they were, and you didn't purchase them as a machine gun, then you're committing a felony. I have a Springfield M1A, and it came with both a nice walnut stock and a surplus M14 stock when I bought it. It has the selector cut, but that doesn't mean anything, it was never fully auto.
Funny you should mention that. I also have a Browning 1919 made from an Izzy A6 parts kit. However, to be legal, it's required to use a semi-auto only right side plate, which is considered by law to be the receiver, and therefore the entire firearm, and have the right side of the bolt milled prevent conversion to full auto. While all of the parts in my .30 are from a machine gun, the bolt, lock frame, and trigger bits have been modified, and it's a semi-only RSP.
ok, I can see that you're not going to be satisfied til I say you're right, so let's just drop it, you know everything there is to know and you're never wrong, at least when two different guys contradict what I've said I admit when I'm wrong
not so true. semi auto variants of any military firearm are legal in most states as long as they dont have a fully automatic select and can't easily be made fully automatic with a kit. there are some regulations though like in california guns can only have a 10 rd. magazine
dont be so quicl to say so,of course you can buy any type of rifle that the army uses wither it being 3 round burst or fully auto you just have to go to a class three gun shop and pay the $200 tax stamp after you buy your rifle.
Not necessarily. Look at the M16, you cannot buy one of those, you can get remakes from companies like Armalite and RRA but you cannot buy a real-steel Colt M16. With the M14 it's the same way there is no automatic version sold to civilians, regardless of whether you have an Auto permit or not. You can only get the company's remade version called the M1A which is only Semi-Auto.
Actually you can buy an m14 legally, you just have to pay a $200 government tax and get approved by your County Law Enforcement Officer. Also, you have to be willing to drop about $25,000. Ouch !
the AK-47 uses the 7.62x39mm, which is shorter than the 7.62x51 of the M14 and 7.62x63mm(30-06) of the Garand, so there is less gunpowder and less power. there is a video here on youtube where a guy points out the over-hyped power of the AK. he shoots two watermelons with a AK and with a 30-06, the AK splits it in two, but the 30-06 nearly vaporised it
Well we replaced the M14 with the m16 - because It weights less so you can carry more rounds. 5.56 does have great terminal ballistics. Shot placement is more important than " knockdown power " - so with that said I think Id take 500 rounds of 5.56 vs. 380 rounds of .308 :)
Personal preference - I like small calibers. Like I like the AK-74 5.45x39 .vs AK-47 7.62x39.
Both excellent rifles, thanks for posting.

Did it never dawn on you that they could be firing blanks, lethal close range but not far out, u fucking numb nut THINK

Blanks WILL NOT cycle in a semi-auto rifle without the use of a special plug to build up enough pressure to cycle the bolt.
Seriously doubt those guys were using said barrel plugs since I did'nt see the giant goddam yellow things on the flash suppressor.
THINK before you speak.
If you don't know, be quiet.

Why are these idiots Shooting up in the air! I hope they are hitting the side of a mountain. Otherwise they are not being veyr safe

Seriously? You got shit for brains! Who the fuck shoots clay pigeons with rifles, Jack Ass! They shoot clay pigeons with shotguns and Trap Shot, Theycallme47 More like they call you Jackass
cthomas5992 3 years ago
yeah but arent they more likely to be shooting a target than hitting the side of a mountain what target do u shoot up into the air clay pigeons i know their for fucking shotguns but its not the law twat
theycallme47 3 years ago
Just because they are MORE likely to be shooting a target doesn't mean that they ARE. They might be shooting at other things like birds for instance. Shooting at clay pigeons with a scope makes no damn sense because you would only get it for a moment and then it's gone. Plus a clay pigeon moves and their bodies are not in any sort of motion (besides the recoil). And, quit calling people twats I don't care if you know or think you know what it means, it's getting annoying.

I doubt they are shooting anything but SKY, they aren't swinging their guns as iff following any targets.. They are shooting at nothing but sky.
cthomas5992 3 years ago
They could be shooting targets on a hill.
Southern661 3 years ago
At my local range there are "gongs" set at 100 and 300 yards on the side of a hill. It is quite possible they were shooting uphill at some sort of target. I know I use clay pidgeons as distance targets. Nice bright color and usually shatter on impact. It sure is amazing how nasty people get over the most trivial things on youtube. Have a great one folks :-)

Yeah sad part is M-14 was originally a failure, but it led to the M-16 and is now a specialized sniper rifle so what the hell.
Golferdude50 3 years ago
what? M-14, failure?
Ilikebigbutts123456 3 years ago
The M-14 was way ahead of it's time and used ammo that was proven to eliminate targets in one fatal shot. It also is a very accurate rifle, which is why the Marines use it today as their DMR. It was only phased out because it was hard to control because of the shape of the grip and stock and when Full-Auto was used.The ammo was heavy too. The M-16 WAS originally a failure because of vietnam conditions, it got dirty and jammed. The M-16 DOES NOT do a good job of providing single fatal shots.
numba1craze 3 years ago
Just had to drop a quick note. The reason for the 1 shot stop problem is the ammo. Ball ammo in a .22 cal diameter at the speeds coming from the M16/AR15 does not cause a huge amount of shock. Tho the tendancy to bouch around inside the target can cause quite a abit of damage. In my line of work there have been 2 uses of deadly force in the last few years. Both with the AR15 variant and both were 1 shot stops. The dif? We use soft point ammo.

The Garand is stronger than the M-14! But it only can hold 8 rounds plus it´s semi, while the M14 is full auto and semi but it´t not as strong as the M1.

the M-14 sniper rifle version is still in use?
or am i wrong...

Right! But keep it apart from the M21 it looks the same!

yeah! i was thinking :D
in CoD 4 you got that M21 my fav sniper there but the game sucks, yo ubetter buy a real M21:D

i have seen videos from iraq where they are shooting the m14. i think sniper spotters use it or something..
noesomhelst 3 years ago
yeah but Coolmike1989 said that the M21 and M14 looks exacly the same.
thadutchguy 3 years ago
yes i know, but the video said m14.
noesomhelst 3 years ago
They are the same, just with a different name lol.
TheGeneralHimself92 3 years ago
Actually they aren't. Here's why: 1. the M-14 has a detachable mag, the M-1 Garand has a clip. 2. the M-14 shoots 7.62 X 51 otherwise known as 7.62 NATO, the M-1 Garand shoots 30-06 "thirty aut six". 3. the M-14 was designed in 1954, the M-1 Garand was designed in 1932. Cosmetically they do look similar, although the M-1 Garand has more wood and weighs more I believe.
numba1craze 3 years ago
Ah...I see I see. Thanks for the info buddy. I just always thought they were kinda the same in a way. But the M14's design is based on the M1 Garand though. I'd like to purchase an M14 for Christmas but I dont know where to look lol.
TheGeneralHimself92 3 years ago
Well, you can't purchase an M-14 legally because it is an army rifle. You can however buy its civilian equivilant which is called the M1A, try looking that up on places like gunbroker(.)com and maybe at local gun shops. I recently got one and I love the hell out of it, great hunting gun too.
numba1craze 3 years ago
Nice, sounds like a plan. But does the M1A fire the 7.62 NATO round?
TheGeneralHimself92 3 years ago
Yes, it is the exact same gun as the M-14, the only difference is that it cannot shoot Full-Auto. Semi-Auto only.
numba1craze 3 years ago
Awesome, semi-auto is fine with me.
TheGeneralHimself92 3 years ago
ok maybe they werent shooting at clay pigeons its one suggestion but their far more likely to be shooting a clay pigeon than you are a mountain u twat and dont act like u know what one is
theycallme47 3 years ago
I do know what a twat is, I hope you don't think you made up the word, someone beat you to it. Ever heard of UrbanDictionary. Who's to say they are shooting at the side of a mountain if it's his land he can do what the hell he wants. People like yourself who have to be an ass on the internet over something so pointless are pissing me off, and like the horrible state of California, we should just "REMOVE".
numba1craze 3 years ago
you can buy an M14 that has had the full auto removed, I have owned two of them, bit they are hard to find, the M1A does fire the same round 7.62x51mm or .308 caliber
roskosudsly 3 years ago
Nope. Not even a semi-auto M14. By law, once a machine gun, always a machine gun. There's no way around it, other than selling it as a parts kit without the receiver, which until destroyed, will always technically be a machine gun.
AreThereNoMoreNames 3 years ago
well, I have two fully functioning M14's that are semi-automatic, and on both you can tell were the auto selector use to be. One is a Poly-Tech and the other is is an auto ordnance
roskosudsly 3 years ago
I have a federal ordnance, and you can tell where the full-auto select use to be on it, the plug they put in doesn't quite match the rest of the wood
shagnastly2 3 years ago
Then they weren't legally fully automatic at any point, and if they were, and you didn't purchase them as a machine gun, then you're committing a felony. I have a Springfield M1A, and it came with both a nice walnut stock and a surplus M14 stock when I bought it. It has the selector cut, but that doesn't mean anything, it was never fully auto.
AreThereNoMoreNames 3 years ago
I also have a friend that has a browning .30 caliber that was full auto, then converted to semi, by the way I'm in state law enforcement
roskosudsly 3 years ago
Funny you should mention that. I also have a Browning 1919 made from an Izzy A6 parts kit. However, to be legal, it's required to use a semi-auto only right side plate, which is considered by law to be the receiver, and therefore the entire firearm, and have the right side of the bolt milled prevent conversion to full auto. While all of the parts in my .30 are from a machine gun, the bolt, lock frame, and trigger bits have been modified, and it's a semi-only RSP.
But I see what you mean.
AreThereNoMoreNames 3 years ago
ok, I can see that you're not going to be satisfied til I say you're right, so let's just drop it, you know everything there is to know and you're never wrong, at least when two different guys contradict what I've said I admit when I'm wrong
roskosudsly 3 years ago
not so true. semi auto variants of any military firearm are legal in most states as long as they dont have a fully automatic select and can't easily be made fully automatic with a kit. there are some regulations though like in california guns can only have a 10 rd. magazine

halorules321 3 years ago
dont be so quicl to say so,of course you can buy any type of rifle that the army uses wither it being 3 round burst or fully auto you just have to go to a class three gun shop and pay the $200 tax stamp after you buy your rifle.
2000jdam 3 years ago
Not necessarily. Look at the M16, you cannot buy one of those, you can get remakes from companies like Armalite and RRA but you cannot buy a real-steel Colt M16. With the M14 it's the same way there is no automatic version sold to civilians, regardless of whether you have an Auto permit or not. You can only get the company's remade version called the M1A which is only Semi-Auto.
numba1craze 3 years ago
Actually you can buy an m14 legally, you just have to pay a $200 government tax and get approved by your County Law Enforcement Officer. Also, you have to be willing to drop about $25,000. Ouch !

doesnt the AK-47 use a 7.62 round? is that stronger or the same?
pelican1170 3 years ago
the AK-47 uses the 7.62x39mm, which is shorter than the 7.62x51 of the M14 and 7.62x63mm(30-06) of the Garand, so there is less gunpowder and less power. there is a video here on youtube where a guy points out the over-hyped power of the AK. he shoots two watermelons with a AK and with a 30-06, the AK splits it in two, but the 30-06 nearly vaporised it
vikingfish2221 3 years ago
then it makes me wonder why we got rid of the grand in the military and replaced it with the M16 with the 5.56 round.....
pelican1170 3 years ago
Well we replaced the M14 with the m16 - because It weights less so you can carry more rounds. 5.56 does have great terminal ballistics. Shot placement is more important than " knockdown power " - so with that said I think Id take 500 rounds of 5.56 vs. 380 rounds of .308 :)
Personal preference - I like small calibers. Like I like the AK-74 5.45x39 .vs AK-47 7.62x39.
All personal preference.
