RAP4 M14 Rifle With 3-9x Power Telescope

(SANEPR.com) June 12, 2009 -- Jun 12, 2009 –Along with the FN-FAL and the AK-47, the M14 is considered by most experts to be one of the finest military rifles ever issued. The M14 rifle design was first conceived during World War II when airborne units wanted a weapon with the killing power of the M1 but capable of firing fully automatic. After a lengthy design and testing period, the M14 was officially adopted as the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm in 1957.

The M14 went to war in Vietnam, but the humid jungle conditions caused the wooden stock to swell and the rifle lost its aim. The army issued a fiberglass stock for the M14 to combat this problem. The M14 served well but was almost completely superseded by the smaller calibered M16 by 1969.

One area where the M14 excelled was as a sniper rifle. A special variant with 3-9x power telescope designated the M21, was adopted as the U.S. Army’s standard sniper rifle.

During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, U.S. Navy Seals were seen using the M14 as their
primary arm. The SEALS like the power and range of the M14 for use in the longer distances of desert combat.
