the army rlly should have stayed with this rifle. instead of jumping rite into the unreliable m16 they shood have improved this rifle. fiberglass stock and new chambering for the m43 round could be a start. althogh honestly the rifle was great how it was.
@unknown13ful well no i agree with teh m16 because of the weight since there already wearing 100 pounds of equipment the slightest of weight makes a huge difference
yes even a 22 its a peace of metal coming at u at about 1000 feet per second it wont kill you but it will hurt like hell and yes you will be able to get up but i will knock you down
@RMCES4LIFE They are both good guns. The M14 is used today as a marksman rifle where the M16 is better for closer range combat. Both are good for different purposes.
Ok, wtf. 503 yards effective range for the m14, 656 for the FAL. So you're telling me that a shorter-barreled rifle with a lower muzzle velocity (by about 99 fps) is more than 150 yards more accurate? Bullshit.
i miss my M14, without my M14, i am nothing; without me, my M14 may be nothing.
when i was in army, the commander only asked us to shoot accurately and for those who can fire 1 round on the target by one single shot from 300m away, who can have a day off.
i was the a few who can have that kind of award on my company all the time; by my M14. :)
why is the m14 at number 10 if the FAL is so good why is it not used today like the m14? and this was probably made by someone who plays way to much cod
The only reason it rated ten was due to it's just battlefield service length, the Navy however still utilizes this wonderful weapon today, I wouldn't trade it for anything
has anyone ever met a Vietnam vet that complained about the "weight" of the M-14 and it's ammo? I know chingo's of them and they all laugh when I used to ask them that.
@FireBadger66 they gotta shortchange it to pump up justifying spending a ton of money on a new rifle (M-110). I was a D.M. for 3 years and the 14 is a wonderful rifle.
@ajonz9213 thats the very fartherest than a very proficient marksmen could shoot it with out an optical sight, at that range you barely see target in your iron sights, and you have to make so many sighting adjustments that it makes shooting at that range impractical, so yes 500 meters is about the max effective range.
@vans98skate Oh my God, another person who hates Obama! *Drops down on knees* *Stars crying* Our breed is so rare in these parts, I'm just thrilled that I could meet another of my kind. THANK YOU!
service length determines if your rifle is better or not?! thats bullshit... this ranks 10 and the enfeild ranks 3 or some shit?! wtf is that?!?! iam sorry i dont give a fuck how you put it but a reliable semi auto .308 rifle with a 20 round magazine with full auto capability will allways be better than a damn enfeild!
My God, the M14 was a terrible battle rifle people...... Its very accurate sure, that's why we still use some as marksman rifles, but its not ergonomic to suit the modern battlefield at all. I cannot be one of the only ones here who thinks the FAL is a far superior battle rifle to the M14 can I? I mean if the US hadn't stuck its nose up at the rest of the world, we'd be using the FAL right now.
@Moosecm86 You do know that when the Israelis had the FAL as their rifle they had a lot of problems with reliability right? And that we give Israel several M14s which were much more reliable than the FAL.
@4everUSNavy Um excuse me? The M14 was adopted by ONE country and only had a standard service life of about 11 years, if that. It was replaced super quick with an intermediate round due to its tremendous and uncontrollable recoil in Full Auto. Infact, had politics at the time not played a role, the United States would have adopted the FAL, which has seen a service life in all corners of the globe as a standard battle weapon for over 56 years in more than 90 countries.
@4everUSNavy I really hate it when people say that the FN FAL and M16 is better than the M14.
Here are my opinions. M16 jammed during the Vietnam war but the M14 didn't. M14 is a little more accurate than the FAL. People believe these things because of games, movies, videos, and tv shows they watch
number ten wtf, my m14 kicks my fn fals ass in just about everything i do. it always works, it is twice as accurate, weighs less, and has a better magwell, bolt lock, mag release,trigger,and you can not put it together wrong.
@musicroks1597530 i agree on every thing except the weight iv fired one and the recoil is massive but controllable as long as you know what your doing
@musicroks1597530 However the M14 is more costly to make then the FAL.

@musicroks1597530 shut you play call of duty you dont know anything bout guns m14 isnt the best rifle but its good if its a rapid fire weapon and semi auto if you wanna learn names of guns play battlefield
@musicroks1597530 a lot of these rankings are bullshit. I'm pretty sure they take into account other things like contemporary application, and not just weapon functionality. For example, the Garand gets #4 when the m-14 is essentially just a better Garand, BUT they just give the Garand such a high rating cause of its track record in dominating ass all over the world. I totally agree with u tho
@musicroks1597530 If numbers mean anything, The M14 was the only country really to adopt it as an infantry rifle where almost of all the western countries adopted the FAL.
the best rifel ever made for all around shooting. out to over 1000yards and still have the power to knock the fight out of anyone..try it with a .223.....5 mph wind blows it way off course
I have a question why arent we using this rifle now? i get that its heavy so why not just make it out of the same material as the M16 I think it would be better now because we have Officially pulled out of Iraq so we wouldnt have to make a new gun in the middle of war
@FpsGamer43 The pot head hippy draftees complained about the recoil and weight of the m14. Making it lighter would increase the recoil tremendously and you still can't make the ammo lighter. I guess you could put a muzzle break on it but that would just make it loud as hell.
And again, the Military Channel proves that it is more about saying "America is great" than actually giving information. Something about Army Ordnance having to sabotage competing rifles (including the vastly superior FN FAL), having to lie about the producibility, blatantly ignoring battlefield statistics, and refusing to dig their heads of World War II to make the US adopt a rifle that was obsolete when it was adopted. There's a reason why the M14 was switched out so fast.
@vogonford Having fired every promanant rifle made since before 1900, I would say the all 7.62 NATO rifles are about equal in semi-auto. The FN-FAL in auto was like trying to hold onto a greased pig, the M14 would get one maybe two hits on a man sized target at 100 yards. The HK G3A3 was a freaking dream. Other great shooting battle rifles M1 and M1941 Johnson. The Johnson, both semi and auto (LMG), were more then a match for the M1, BAR pairing.
@carlostrick the 5.56 is lighter, therefore having much less momentum than the 7.62 even though it has more muzzle velocity. Also the 7.62 has more powder in the cartrige transfering for momentum to the bullet
I have all 3,Springfield armory m1a,ar15 and ak 47,love all 3,but the m1a/m14 is my favorite,beats the hell out of the others,unless you have to carry that big mother all day.But if my life had to depend on my rifle,I wouldnt mind having to carry it.
@jarostone , not the same power as the AK47. Completely different round. M14 = 7.62 x 51mm NATO, AK47 = 7.62 x 39mm. The 7.62 x 51 is more "powerful" and has better range and penetration, but the 7.62 x 39 (like the 5.56 x 45 that the AR family uses) tumbles, causing more trauma and damage to a human body.
Does this guy know that the M1 and the BAR fire the same cartridge? As a matter of fact, the only differing cartridges were the .45 ACP and .30 Carbine.
@LouieIn720p I don't know where you get your info from but here's the facts (check them and learn some). A Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) shoots a .30-06 (.30 caliber 1906) round. The M1 Garand shoots either .30-06 or the "Smaller" in length .308 depending on whether you get a Springfield military or civilian version. The M-14 is a .308 which is a shorter version of the .30-06 and has subsequently less range and knockdown. .30-06 has an effective range of 750 yards, the .308 doesn't.
@LouieIn720p I love these guys who claim to be "SMART" but their posts indicate otherwise then call people like myself who own these rifles as dumb asses (spell check, try it sometime). Please think twice before speaking once because it only belittles you when you post retarded statements. Here's another statement for you. IGNORE!!!
@MasterWitchDoctor I love how arrogant keyboard warriors try to make honest people look stupid just to prove a point. The point is, you're arguing about the wrong time period. I was making a statement in reference to the Historian's claim that would make the average person believe that the BAR and the M1 used a different cartidge. I still don't get how my point isn't valid. And I also own a vintage M1 from the Pacific and a Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM II. I don't claim to be smart. Suck it.
@nero91 what about the AA-12? The M-14 EBR? The Vector/Kriss? The Scar-h and it's brother? and btw i didn't find out about these guns through MW2 like some of the lil kids have. i've known about em from watching future weapons which ended before MW2 came out!
Put this rifle in the hands of someone who can shoot and you dont get much more accurate. I own a springfield M1A and you dont have to try hard to hit a target dead on
@rudybeatskcazm7 My neighbor is a gun collector and has over 200 rifles, many are AR platform "black rifles" and I've had the opportunity to fire many of them. I do really like them but 100-200 rounds later, regardless of ammo used, the gas impingement block is fouled and a stoppage is inevitable. notable exception is the Sig Sauer 556 which is gas piston driven. When it came time to buy my own rifle I went with a AK-47 for is amazing reliability in all conditions.
@rudybeatskcazm7 I'm not saying they're bed rifles, just that they are very high maintenance rifles, and they're very finicky. and those are two things that I do not want in a piece of equipment I might have to trust my life to. That and .223 is a joke.
They lost me at "stopping power" or "knock him down". Yes the .30 caliber cardridge has better terminal performance than 5.56 through barriers, but it won't "knock them down if you shoot at him". You still have to hit the damn targets.
@CoinZaphod187 Wrong. The NATO designation of .308 is 7.62x51mm. The .30 Carbine round used in the M1A1 Carbine is 7.62x33mm. Both use .308 caliber bullets. The primary differences between the two are bullet weight, case capacity, case type, and velocity.
@XxxSakura101 It's all a judgement call on the part of the show's producers. Kind of like video games. One thing they leave out when they mention the M14 being used as a sniper rifle is that those particular rifles aren't your typical off-the-rack M14s. A typical M14 is a "minute of man" rifle. Not a minute of angle rifle. It can be made to be MOA accurate, but it takes a LOT of work to get it there, and even more work to keep it there.
@teutonic94 haha that 7.62 x .39 round is baby shit compared to the massive .308
also Ak is not nearly as accurate as the m14, only thing it beats the m14 on is reliability and the fact that the AK uses stamped parts in comparison to molded parts therefore faster, cheaper production.
If you were shot in the chest with any weapon, regardless of caliber, chances are you are going to die. Chances are even highest if you're shot with tumbling round like 5.45x39 or 5.56x45
@Cowbelltheoneandonly thats y the soldiers were complaining about the stopping power right? isnt that why they are making new weapons for the soldiers that are higher caliber right?
@Cowbelltheoneandonly which weapon got alot of people killed in nam cuz of weapon jammng? m16! and im not hating on the m16 but the m14 imo is better than it, and SOCOM also uses the m14
they tried to make it an m1 garand in zombjes

I have a question why arent we using this rifle now? i get that its heavy so why not just make it out of the same material as the M16 I think it would be better now because we have Officially pulled out of Iraq so we wouldnt have to make a new gun in the middle of war

I knew that but how come its not the main rifle like the M16/M4 is today

@FpsGamer43 its because its too expensive, theM21 was supposed to repace it, but now its back as the M14EBR for tactical uses

@FpsGamer43 The pot head hippy draftees complained about the recoil and weight of the m14. Making it lighter would increase the recoil tremendously and you still can't make the ammo lighter. I guess you could put a muzzle break on it but that would just make it loud as hell.

And again, the Military Channel proves that it is more about saying "America is great" than actually giving information. Something about Army Ordnance having to sabotage competing rifles (including the vastly superior FN FAL), having to lie about the producibility, blatantly ignoring battlefield statistics, and refusing to dig their heads of World War II to make the US adopt a rifle that was obsolete when it was adopted. There's a reason why the M14 was switched out so fast.

@vogonford Having fired every promanant rifle made since before 1900, I would say the all 7.62 NATO rifles are about equal in semi-auto. The FN-FAL in auto was like trying to hold onto a greased pig, the M14 would get one maybe two hits on a man sized target at 100 yards. The HK G3A3 was a freaking dream. Other great shooting battle rifles M1 and M1941 Johnson. The Johnson, both semi and auto (LMG), were more then a match for the M1, BAR pairing.
Robbob9933 1 year ago
@carlostrick the 5.56 is lighter, therefore having much less momentum than the 7.62 even though it has more muzzle velocity. Also the 7.62 has more powder in the cartrige transfering for momentum to the bullet

I have all 3,Springfield armory m1a,ar15 and ak 47,love all 3,but the m1a/m14 is my favorite,beats the hell out of the others,unless you have to carry that big mother all day.But if my life had to depend on my rifle,I wouldnt mind having to carry it.

same power as ak47. better accuracy. shoots faster. so which is better? Still the ak cuz it looks better :D
jarostone 1 year ago
@jarostone , not the same power as the AK47. Completely different round. M14 = 7.62 x 51mm NATO, AK47 = 7.62 x 39mm. The 7.62 x 51 is more "powerful" and has better range and penetration, but the 7.62 x 39 (like the 5.56 x 45 that the AR family uses) tumbles, causing more trauma and damage to a human body.

The AK has less power than this.

Does this guy know that the M1 and the BAR fire the same cartridge? As a matter of fact, the only differing cartridges were the .45 ACP and .30 Carbine.
LouieIn720p 1 year ago
@LouieIn720p I don't know where you get your info from but here's the facts (check them and learn some). A Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) shoots a .30-06 (.30 caliber 1906) round. The M1 Garand shoots either .30-06 or the "Smaller" in length .308 depending on whether you get a Springfield military or civilian version. The M-14 is a .308 which is a shorter version of the .30-06 and has subsequently less range and knockdown. .30-06 has an effective range of 750 yards, the .308 doesn't.

@MasterWitchDoctor I love how arrogant keyboard warriors try to make honest people look stupid just to prove a point. The point is, you're arguing about the wrong time period. I was making a statement in reference to the Historian's claim that would make the average person believe that the BAR and the M1 used a different cartidge. I still don't get how my point isn't valid. And I also own a vintage M1 from the Pacific and a Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM II. I don't claim to be smart. Suck it.

rudybeatskcazm7 1 year ago
@rudybeatskcazm7 My neighbor is a gun collector and has over 200 rifles, many are AR platform "black rifles" and I've had the opportunity to fire many of them. I do really like them but 100-200 rounds later, regardless of ammo used, the gas impingement block is fouled and a stoppage is inevitable. notable exception is the Sig Sauer 556 which is gas piston driven. When it came time to buy my own rifle I went with a AK-47 for is amazing reliability in all conditions.

@rudybeatskcazm7 I'm not saying they're bed rifles, just that they are very high maintenance rifles, and they're very finicky. and those are two things that I do not want in a piece of equipment I might have to trust my life to. That and .223 is a joke.
I like them. I just wouldn't own one.
TheMarikBathory 1 year ago
They lost me at "stopping power" or "knock him down". Yes the .30 caliber cardridge has better terminal performance than 5.56 through barriers, but it won't "knock them down if you shoot at him". You still have to hit the damn targets.

@CoinZaphod187 Wrong. The NATO designation of .308 is 7.62x51mm. The .30 Carbine round used in the M1A1 Carbine is 7.62x33mm. Both use .308 caliber bullets. The primary differences between the two are bullet weight, case capacity, case type, and velocity.

XxxSakura101 1 year ago
@XxxSakura101 It's all a judgement call on the part of the show's producers. Kind of like video games. One thing they leave out when they mention the M14 being used as a sniper rifle is that those particular rifles aren't your typical off-the-rack M14s. A typical M14 is a "minute of man" rifle. Not a minute of angle rifle. It can be made to be MOA accurate, but it takes a LOT of work to get it there, and even more work to keep it there.
RaderizDorret 1 year ago
I dislike the computer animation as well. I have an m4 , m1a ,m-1 ak-47 and a fal! they all have there place.
For cqb I'll take an M4 light short controlable and a high rate of fire.
For mid to long range M1A then the fal ,the mia fits me a lot better and i can hit with it .
the AK47 is my truck gun cheap works great fairly accurate if something happens to it im only out a few hundred buck!!!
the M-1 is so cool 30-06 does what a 308 does but at 100 yards further out.
MAKE MINE AN M14

@teutonic94 haha that 7.62 x .39 round is baby shit compared to the massive .308
also Ak is not nearly as accurate as the m14, only thing it beats the m14 on is reliability and the fact that the AK uses stamped parts in comparison to molded parts therefore faster, cheaper production.
