the select-fire M14 and M16 infantry rifles of the Vietnam War only seem to have produced more misses, This jibes with my Army Ranger cousin telling me that it's amazing how many rounds could be fired on both sides and no one get hit on either side!

We used a modified M-14, the XM-21, with silencer and starlet scope in Nam. Very silent and accurate.

I guest that all those movies where a dozen bad guys are shooting at the hero with machine guns and no one ever manages to hit the hero are more realistic than I thought.
