The M14 was a real “climber”. I never got more than one bullet on target with full auto.
The M-15 bipod was a game changer. Buddy go one and the thing was like a BAR prone. No muzzle climb.
Weird, as we both had no luck hitting anything from the hip or offhand. One round on target and then all over. My rifle got so hot shooting full auto I had to use my cover over the top to hold it down.
