Guns and Ammo TV Jams up an M1A

I guess they are killing a sacred cow here... Maybe there is a reason the M14 was replaced by the M16.

@slt223 Do you prefer dos equis as well?

[Gamerguy94]

I still love the M1A...

[slt223]

I'm not always in combat, but when I am, and my rifle fails to feed or eject, I drop trousers right there on the spot and blast away the grit with a hardy fart straight into the action through the ejection port, or magazine well until it's cleared. Stay tactical my friends!

@nov284 LOL :D

@TheRed137 Hornady tap 110 GR is hotter then regular .308. It's 3165 FPS at the muzzle.

[TheRed137]

If you're shooting the gun clean then no. But dirty, it would only make more sense that you need a hotter round to force the actuation of the gun to prevent failures to feed.

@TheRed137 It makes no difference for cycling.

the reason the m14 was replaced by the m16 had nothing to do with anything this video entails, one of the main factors was weight of both the ammo and rifle and control-ability on full auto both of witch the m16 does better than the m14, but there is a reason our special forces still use the m14, its deadly accurate arguably more reliable and carries around 2,800 foot pounds of bullet energy compared to the m16 chambered in 556. 1,200 foot pounds of force, far more energy at a range

What they don't illustrate here is that he could have easily urinated into the receiver and down the bore to clear the mud out and continued to rock and roll.

@esh325 Standard .308 is like 168 grains.
