If you had a choice betweenthe M1 Garand andthe M14, which would you pick for combat?

Or better yet, if you asked to serve in the military and in combat and you had the choice of any assault rifle, any.Would youpick the Garand over everthing else out there that was "ever made"?

I am not knocking the Garand, I just think the "best combat rifle made" claim is alittle much.
