Hey DB or anyone else: What's your experience with the M-14? Watched Gun Stories the other night and their position was it was dropped because it was too heavy and uncontrollable on auto. They also maintained the average soldier couldn't shoot it accurately. If true, I further maintain the peep sight is a poor choice for combat and bolstered pussification of shooting discipline due to recoil aversion.
In the Farce I carried the M-16 A1 (without forward assist?!) until about the 2000 transition to the A-2...big time bullshit push against interchanging M193 and 855 ammo. Both guns featured the obvious retard desk engineer flip "long range" peep. I guess the pin hole "long range" was just as "effective" as the standard in combat. Now the M4 has a version of the dumbassed ghost ring which takes a back seat to a dumbassed red dot(debatable) which still requires looking through a device for target acquisition.
The peep sight has cost American lives as much as the AK. Sgt York used an '03 for a reason.
The episode I mentioned is not yet available:
