Description
==== THIS MOD SUPERCEDES AND REPLACE HLC M14 PACK , PLEASE UNSUB THAT AND USE THIS INSTEAD ====


So the M14 is the big F-You to FN Herstal and the FAL. At it's core, it's more or less just an Auto-fire capable M1 Garand that feeds from external mags instead of en-block clips, for better or worse. of the "Big 3" .308 battle rifles of the era, the M14 is the most cumbersome, but like it's parent design, is a nail-driver. It was so good at it that it well outlived it's immediate successor (the orginal M16) in US Armed force usage. The latest iteration, the Mk14 EBR/M39 EMR platforms though, likely signals the end of it's life, as the adoption of those was primarily decided due to an abundance of mothballed M14s and a distinct lack of 7.62 NATO effectiveness in the current arid conflicts, and M110s and Mk11s were in short supply.

" a distinct lack of 7.62 NATO effectiveness in the current arid conflicts"

5.56x45 was distinctly ineffective in windy Afghanistan past the first few hundred meters of transit, hence the increasing use of 308 within the first few months. The M14 is a decent DMR, but less-than-perfect battle rifle at higher fire rates compared to floating barrels. The exception to 308 generally becoming the go-to was compared to like the 300 & 338 magnums at even longer ranges or the 308 having trouble against just moderate body armor past 500 meters. Though there was some, improvised body armor was not a huge issue in Afghanistan, and unless you're a sniper, you couldn't fully exploit the magnum rifles. 308-chambered M110 was also almost exclusively being used by marksmen and snipers. The new move to .277 is related to near-peer adversaries, not GWOT 'arid' wars. If we weren't concerned with body armor past 500 meters, we'd be sticking to intermediate 308 with its superior subsonic options.

Would you ever do the M14E2 squad automatic rifle?

Looks pretty noice, but can you slap on vanilla attachments (ACO, 7.62 silencer, etc) too?

Nice Mod, love it. Would it be possible to add the M14E2 SAW?

Any chance of the M1A socom? its basically a shortened m14 with a polymer stock. loads of different versions also

Is there any hope you'll add an M1 Garand to the pack, since it follows in the same theme and is the predecessor to the M14 (you could probably re-use a lot of the work you've already put into the M14 models)?

I think the M14 DMR is now my favorite gun in existence.

@[S2] Still A Lime: To clarify, Mag Switch doesn t work only with hlc_50Rnd_762x51_B_M14
magazines, with the other 50 rnd drum it works fine.

@[S2] Still A Lime: Yes, CBA_A3 and NIArms core are running, tested with no other mods loaded.

@lizardbolo. I feel I have to check- NIarms core and CBA are both subscribed and enabled, yes?
