"The problem with the M14 is it was too good for the requirements of the army" Flashbacks to Ian from Forgotten Weapons crying "WoooooaaaaAAAAHHH!!!" the first time he fired one on full auto and only hit sky before saying "yeah that was awful" 😂
@johns1625 I get a lot of enjoyment lately making fudds cry by shit talking M14s lately. Most of them never shit an actual m14, especially in combat. It's mostly these fat boomers that shot 20 rounds out of an M1A Springfield at a civilian range at a target 25 yards away at bench rest and saying "M14s are great."
Lee Ermey compared M16 and M14 and he correctly demonstrated (visually) the poor handling of M14 because of its ergonomics (no pistol grip, more upward recoil when full auto).
It's the greatest gun that ever existed, exists and will exist. In fact, it's the pistol chosen by the angels when the mighty Saint Michael sent satan defeated to hell.
Weaponology is so disappointing seeing it again as an adult. For the "AK47", they show clips of an M70 and VZ58, then the guy demonstrates with a WASR10. Nothing wrong with the WASR, but you'd think they would've found someone with a no shit Type 3 AK or maybe even a Russian AKM to show on their big production History Channel show lol.
Well I think "AK-47" could be used to refer to the general AK platform in similar way the AR-15 is used, like an original XM16 from the USAF and an L119A2 from the SAS are still technically AR-15s, meanwhile a MPiK from East Germany and a North Korean Type 58 are still AK-47s.
I love the M-14, but it failed not because it was too good or too expensive to manufacture and maintain, but because it couldn't replace the rifle, the B.A.R. and the submachine gun as it was promised to do.
Facts. Would I want to have carried one when I was deployed? Hell no. But as a civilian now, is it a fun gun to take to the range? Absolutely. Unfortunately though edge lords like to bash on it and the m1911 because they think they're cool in doing so and usually they just regurgitate something they saw on RUclips
I feel like given a stock change (not wood, idk who’s idea that was) and some of the more modernly available “upgrades”, it would have been a very serviceable infantry rifle, and maybe serving as a SAW in the same capacity as the BAR did. It definitely wouldn’t have been a very good smg though lol
@jamesbradley9937 if it had been around during WWII, it would be remembered with the same love as the Garand. In fact, the whole point of the m14 was to improve upon the Garand... It just came far too late. By the time M14s started getting issued, the world had moved onto AKs, FALs and G3s, etc...
Black Hebrew Israelites forming conspiracy theories about White people based on a snippet of a Boomer History Channel documentary is hilarious. It reminds me of how whenever I was using my Wii, my cat would pounce at the TV to attack the little remote pointer in the menu.

What a lot of people don't realize is that "gun culture" is fairly young. Yes we've had guns since our founding, but they didn't really become a specific subculture until recently. Before that guns were simply seen as tools to be used for shooting things. It's kinda like how car culture wasn't really a thing until after WW2, despite cars having existed before that.

This brings back memories of people telling me in person that the Mini-14 and SKS are more accurate AND more reliable than AR15s lol not to mention more affordable😕
Believe it or not, there was a time when ARs weren't as common as they are now. Colt, Olympic Arms and a couple other lower makers like Eagle Arms and Bushmaster were the only game in town and they were pricey unless you bought a lower and a junk parts kit from Nesard or Sarco or a better kit from Bushmaster/Quality Parts. So poors like me at the time had to put up with a junk AR or a Mini 14 or god-forbid, an SKS. Anyway I'm a boomer as you might can tell, but aside from us boomers shooting up all the surplus ammo, you guys have it great with cheap,quality ARs and loads of good optics and furniture. God. We had to strap a maglite into our guns with radiator clamps or spend hundreds on a Surefire. And suppressors? Wow. We had to get the sheriff or police chief to sign a form for each shitty steel can.

We had to pore the powder into the chamber, out in a patch, lever in a ball, then put in a percussion cap for every chamber, and we did that all in the snow with bare hands while getting shot at by Jonny Rebs. Back then men were real men. You boys need to grow up and get a man's gun.
Funny thing about the Top 10’s bit on the 98K is if you’re watching the video in the background at 2:09 they’re actually shooting a Gewehr 98 with the Lange Visier dialed up to like, 1600 meters. One wonders if any of their production crew knew a thing about Mausers outside of WWII fuddlore.

That's pure nostalgia, for Millennials. I enjoy watching these shows every so often still, however, I think they were submliminally getting us ready for GWOT since most of these shows started up around 04 and went through the mid 2010s.
I love watching the le/mil advertisements for Colt and H&K from the 90s
Lmao! 😂 Right there with you brother!!!! Watched all of those shows during weekend breakfast as a youngster, telling myself I'm gonna go fight like pops did in Vietnam. Fast forward to 2012, there I am fighting in Afghanistan. 😂 Nostalgia!
My childhood Saturday mornings were Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Tales of the Gun.
Thing is, boomer Fuds are dying off; before too long you young Whippersnappers will be the Fuds.
Incidentally, you have loads of comedic talent, my friend. I predict you will go far.
I loved that show as a kid
