AR-15/M-16 is the way to go.........no doubt

"AR-15/M-16 is the way to go.........no doubt"

It's a classic debate, but there inarguably is doubt.

If the enemies of your freedom were carrying M-16s, and were over 400 yards away (or closer, with light intervening brush), wouldn't you vastly prefer to have a .308 (such as the M14), so that you could get solid hits out to 600 yards, before they ever got within the range of their varmint rifles?

I've fired every Army rife and machine gun that was in use from the 80's to the late 90's. This includes grease guns, M16's (of course), an occasional M14, M60 and M2 machine guns. Also fired some appropriated AK47s and AKMSs.

I was amazed at the accuracy of the M14. To my mind, this is really a great rifle, probably the most accurate firearm in wide distribution within the military. Were I a company commander today, I'd want a soldier in each platoon armed with a sniper version of the M14.
