why, it is a proven combat rifle. Excellent knock down power and great range.

And heavy, with a slow rate of fire.

Or not heavy enough, and too fast, depending on how you look at it.

Personally, I think they should implement a Designated Marksman program and give one or two guys in each squad an M-14 (or G3, or whatever) and a few extra weeks of marksmanship training. A guy with a 7.62 could give his squad the reach that they seem to lack right now, and the M-14 would be more than adequate for the job.

One cartridge can't do it all.

They have had some great History Channel specials on it.
