ergos are subjective. I can show you 10 AAR"s on that gun from downrange from at least 5 different SOCOM units that all say these things about that gun. oh but excuse me its a "battle rifle" bla give me a break.

Your trying to inject logic and truth to most, who have never had the latitude/ability to choose the weapon they wanted to carry, and live past first contact.
Uncle issued AR10's back in 65-66 but the first batch had major barrel issues and the "C" style cocking piece flat ass sucked. The remaining choice was Korean or Congo issue, 7188 Remington(a little later), FNFAL, AK-47, AR-15/xm177e-1/2(yes they were marked that way)Or M14.
Many guys took the 14 train, and from the looks of things that old bitch is still dealing it out. I have a phobia about the AR platform that was intrenched long ago.
That said I have used one more than once, but they ain't my first choice for a real step off. Those who say they (M14, family) are two heavy, well I guess that's subjective. I've toted a pig, 81 tube an base, food for it, and 50's. Trust me if you have a choice to run point, or drag the line. You'll choose point with a M14 very quick, but then again doing something over reading about it, watching a past walker on the tube, or playing some game, is help full too,.....I guess.
