Every rifle that has served our military has had shortcomings. I've not said that the M14 didn't have it's own faults, as did the initial M16's when they were adopted. The M14 still serves a purpose with the military to this day, just not as the standard service rifle. The M16 and it's variants serve that need just much better.Every gun the M14 replaced and the guns that were adopted to make up for the M14's shortcomings all had longer service lives than the M14
