The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

M14's are semi auto. You don't need a special license for them.

The military ones were select fire.

Weren't some of them semi-auto? I seem to recall some groups prefer them for some kind of sniper role.

They had fully auto too.

The first two versions were semi, and then select after the third, if I remember right.

Here's todays issue with M14s beyond if they legally meet the requirements to be sold. A lot of them have been thrust back into service in the last 15 years. Especially in Afghanistan where range matters. The second part of them is that BJ Clinton had a ton of them destroyed. The third problem is they had a short run as the standard riflemans weapon.

Still a good rifle. Marines were pissed when they got switched to the m16 halfway through a tour in Vietnam. Mostly because the cheap fuckers kept jamming. In fact, that scene in full metal jacket near the end where the lead almost got killed by the woman sniper because the m16 jammed on him is probably accurate.

I think the problems with the early 16s were the result of the war between the WH and the Ordnance Corps. Wrinkles have been ironed out since then.

The Marines are apparently looking at replacing all their M4's with M27's (HK416), took their rifles away and handed them carbines; they went less than six months before they started to buck the rider.

I always suspected that the IAR was just a back door way of trying to replace the AR. Just get it into the system, then let it take over by default.

Yeah, M4s need to be a supplement to the force, not the base weapon

Replace the M4 with the HK M27, replace the AR with HK417, and replace the M249 with the medium calibre Minimi, there's no actual law of physics which says you must have the entire squad carrying five-five-six, having seven-six-two at the squad level is worth the stretch, and HK USA/FN USA is still made in the USA.

I learned this,

The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War.[1] The name is an insulting reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was responsible for the setting of "spheres of interest" in Eastern Europe under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939. The pact with the Nazis bearing Molotov's name was widely mocked by the Finns, as was much of the propaganda Molotov produced to accompany the pact, including his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbours. The Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts.[2] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".[3] Molotov himself despised the name, particularly as the term became ubiquitous.[4]
