The M-14 was far less maintenance than the M-16. Now I would love to see the BAR come back. That was a great Rifle.

No argument on the M-14. The BAR was a great weapon, but it was too heavy to be a standard infantry rifle. It was used in the Squad Automatic Weapon role, and that's where it was best at.
