Default RE: does the military need a new service rifle

The M14 is a nice gun for shooting long distances but that's about all. Having it as the standard battle rifle for the shortest period of time of any American battle rifle should say something about it. BTW, the Stoner/M-16 platform has been in use for about 30 years already, that should say something as well.
