Interesting article on the M14 rifle!

Did any of you use the M14?

Not I, when I went in we all received an M1 rifle:

Do you remember :

The M1 rifle is divided into three main groups, the barrel and receiver group, the trigger housing group and the stock group.

The M1 rifle is a .30 calibre, clip fed, gas operated, semi-automatic sholder weapon.

The muzzle velocity of the M1 rifle is 2750 feet per second..

How many of you had the opportunity to bunk with your M1 rifle??
