Let's face it. Materials, thechnologies and knowledge have improved a lot since the M14 was introduce.
A new weapon design, built from the ground up, with all the lessons learned in the last 50 years,
will always have the advantage over an improved version of an old gun.
Sounds good on paper, but the reality is that none of these new weapons have proven
themselves to be both as accurate and as reliable in battle as the modernized M14 is.
