A M1 Garand can out fire a M14...

I don't have a clue what you are talking about. A M14 fires a .308Win cartridge fully automatically with a detachable magazine.

Most M14’s I saw were semi-autos. I have been told by a gun expert that a trained M1 Grand marksman can shoot more rounds than a M14 because of a slight edge of the M1 Garand in loading because the M14 has to lock in the magazine. The M1 Garand fires 30-06 which is a more powerful round also. The M14 is difficult to handle on full-auto so it is about equal to the M1.
