Awesome story for a movie!
The M14 is a pre Vietnam war weapon no longer issued unless you’re sniper qualified. Then again all muskets and long g rifles are assault weapons when issued in their time line. I wonder how beta o’Rourke would have reacted when the introduction of the Kentucky rifle was introduced in the revolution against the king? That assault rifle caused war to go in the favor of the young America.
The latest Rambo movie, perhaps?
