I trained and shot with a M14 for a few months, I got along with it well and shot well with it. A couple of months before we were to ship out to Nam, they took away our M14's and handed us M-16's, We only had a few weeks to train with it and while I really did not care for it, I qualified as "expert", and sailed off to Vietnam. As I was not in a line company, we did little shooting but did incur harassment fire from the VC occasionally, usually at night.When I got home I swore that I would never have another ( M16) but of course since then I have owned two of them.
