M14 advantages over M16?

NoxNoctum · 2012-04-12, 07:23

I'm just curious is it more accurate or anything? Main reason I've been using it is just cause it feels more badass but I wonder if they are concrete reasons to as well

BTW love all the work you guys have done, I find the game is much more intense when no one has optics. A lot more blind automatic fire in the general direction of the enemy and all. Good stuff.

M14 has a better accuracy, does more damage and has a better sound (personally

M16 is easier to control (less recoil) and I think shoots faster in full auto.

Keep in mind the M14 currently has a firerate of 1200rpm - this will be reduced to 600rpm.
Also a change in projectile, but most won't notice that I think.

m14 is better at farther range than m16. m14 is more accurate in single shot, but more recoil so its worse in full. m14 i think has less shots per mag also.

i think its safe to assume that the top rifleman kit is short range and the bottom one is always for longer range.

the only one i dont see a point in is the ak74 vs ak47. the damage of the ak47 makes all the benefits of the 74 pointless imo. because the recoil of the 47 is controllable in full auto i find it best in almost all situations. there is a range between close and medium (~30 meters) that the 47 should have to go single where the 74 would still be full auto.

M14 and M16 both have 20 rounds. The M16 the officer uses has a larger magazine and features 30 rounds.

And.. (in PR Vietnam) only the AK47 is used, not the AK74.

I use M16 when im officer, spraying them bushes. When im SM, i go for the pig, spraying them bushes.

Tell me more, Im curious about this.

The main advantige of M14 is that single shot disables enemy(black and white) and it is also more accurate than M16. I like also the model and sound much more than M16.

You guys are sure about accuracy ? I think that in PR all assault rifles/undeployed marksman rifles share the same accuracy model (except AK47 and AKS74u slighty less accurate).

Prefer it as well. The M14 has it's advantages, but in PR:V most of the fights are pretty close, and that's where the M16 is a bit better. It is also way better for spraying multiple opponents at the same time asap, and I often manage to end up in situations where this is required.

And shit, didn't realize the officer kit has more rounds for the M16. Ten more rounds sounds way better, need to try that.
