Ha! The video said the M-14 was developed to fight the Khmer Rouge.There are NO facts in the absurd video. It's a confabulation of nonsense suggesting that the M14 was developed specifically to fight the Viet Kong, for example. It's the opposite of fact. It"s the version of facts that would accompany a NYT article about the M14.
The M14, I had experience with as a Marine in Viet-Nam. It was not the best in application in a four man fire team as the automatic rifleman's rifle. The M16 was problematic when introduced into Marine Corps service. Reference the Hill Fights thus dead Marines with nonfunctional rifles because of ammunition problems.
