I think the reemergance of the M-14 has more to do with the fact that, in urban areas anyways, multi-shot capability trumps incredible sub MOA accuracy, your engaging multiple targets at absolutely no more than 300 yards, not pegging one unlucky SOB at 1000 yards...
I think the M14 will be with us quite a while.
if I were in the theatre tho, I'd look hard and long for a G3, failing that, a FAL.
goddamn you gotta love rollerlocking firearms, lotts people say the AK is the final word in reliability, but an AK wont continue to function sans extractor.
