The design, testing and production of the M14 were so badly botched that Defense Secretary MacNamera called the whole thing a ‘disgrace.’ And John C. Garand, inventor of the M-1 of which the M14 is a bastardized version – worries about what will happen when it’s used in combat.
Noting published excuses that any new weapon has to go through a period of debugging, Johnson points out rather acidly that the M14 is hardly new. The winning design, called the T44E4 was adopted in May, 1957, as the new M14 rifle.

If you keep this small sample of military objectivity in mind, the rest of what happened in the great M14 rifle snafu will be less surprising. Highways England is proposing for an 18-mile section of the A14 in Cambridgeshire to be classified as a motorway once upgrade work is complete, bringing economic and safety benefits, under plans announced by Highways England today (Friday 7 September).

If you get your hands on a semi-automatic M14 remember that company commanders are supposed to carry extra switches with them in case of an enemy charge.

Though it was phased out on the front lines in favor of the modern M16 Assault rifle, the amazing accuracy and balance of the M14 has led to it being retained for ceremonial purposes, sniping, and shooting competitions to this day.
