both are military designations
😂
well if you want to compare weapons it's one thing, but if you want to compare a specific builds of specific weapons it's another
but i don't think weapons of different natures are fit for comparisons anyway
One replaced the other so I think it’s fair
that's not entirely accurate
m14 is still being used
Not really.
m14 ebr
Even all the DMR M14’s are petty much being replace.
by m16?
No, by AR-10’s.
yeah, that's not m16 i think
... I never said it was?
is that a question?
I’m just confused. I said that the M14 isn’t being used all that much any more. The only reason why we were recently is because we needed DMR’s.
Now, we have AR-10’s for that role.
@Veritas Prognostician sort of, the army is also looking at new calibers as well
.338 and 6.5 creedmoor
And the m14 was replaced by the m16 during the Vietnam war
When do I get perms to post my bois?
6.5 creedmoor is an overrated shit round btw
I agree. 6.5 is an overpriced .308
@TwinVickers The M14 was the standard infantry rifle for all Army and Marine units that deployed to Vietnam in 1965, but Defense Secretary Robert McNamara ended procurement in 1964, selecting the M16 as a replacement. By 1970, only a handful of M14s remained in Vietnam.
I have a 1908 mauser 98 action that I beefed up, and chambered in 338-378 wby that I wanted to post
338-378 shoots about 100-150ft/s faster than the .338 lapua
Well...I didnt do it
I got a gunsmith to
Put a Sig Sauer Tango 6 on it...Shooting out to 1600 yards, then 2000😂
Mauser 98s are nice. M48s from Yugoslavia are basically the same for half the price
This mauser was in shit shape, and it was one we already had...
So I used it
It was the long Gewehr variant
And I already have a Gewehr 98
In good shape
Ssoooooo
Ya
Bolt actions with iron sights are always nice
Ya, well my 338-378 definitely ain't being shot out to 2000 with iron sights😂
