john01 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 hi im a big fan of the m14 rifle but nobody has madea good classic one yeti was thinkingthe model would be the same type as in call of duty black opsand you should be able tp put various scopes on it incl:red dots-acog-various zoom type scopes but in particulair x4 (like the one from bad company 2) personally i would not use a ghillie but other people would really like thatextended clips and there should be two identical onesbut with one small differencessince theres no way to change firing modesthere should be a full auto and a single shot version madeplus it definitvely (dunno if its spelled right different country)should be high powered id say same stats as gobi campain scout rifle minimumid love for it to have a wood finish cause i just like it plus it has the benifit offalling stylewise into fallout without a hitch (look at the finish of service rifle-hunting shotgun etc.) anyway this is a serious request since i cant mod weapons myselfif i could i wouldnt post this requestmaybe a silencer for all the stealth lovers ???anyway that was it if anybody has any other ideas please post them im surepeople are really intrested (i know i am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4y30n Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) I would definitely be in favor of an M14 in New Vegas. Having semi and full auto variants makes sense, too, because a good portion of the M14s made were converted from full auto to semi to save ammunition, and obviously full auto for a marksman rifle would be pointless. Given these variants, it would make sense to have a low power, ACOG-type scope upgrade for the automatic version (I would actually vote for 2x myself) and maybe a 10x Leupold Mark 4 LR/T for the semi-automatic rifle. Bear in mind, however, that the automatic M14s were nigh uncontrollable when fired as such since a .308 has a good bit of kick; this is why light machine guns are pretty much all 5.56mm even though they weigh upwards of 15 lbs. I'd also love to see a sniper-style wood stock for the marksman rifle, such as this laminated one from Wenig (though obviously in more natural colors), perhaps as an upgrade that adds weight but decreases spread: http://www.wenig.com/jpegs/m1a_scope_stock.jpg As far as magazines go, standard issue was 20 rounds and the only larger ones I've heard of in .308 are for the Galil and they'd look silly on an M14 even if they did fit. On the other hand, civilian magazines are 10 round, so maybe you'd find the gun in some civilian hunter or gun enthusiast's house with the 10 rounders then find the 20 rounders elsewhere as an upgrade to either of 'em. That makes two upgrades for the auto version, three for the semi version and I honestly can't think of anything else I'd want on such a rifle that would make a real difference in the game. Well, maybe the varmint rifle's night scope instead of the Leupold for the semi-auto, but with the Leupold's 10 power magnification and with either a plain crosshair or non-illuminated mildot reticle instead of the fat hunting crosshair. Actually, now that I think of it, the auto version could just be called an M14 and come standard with iron sights with the option to upgrade to an ACOG and the semi version could be called the M14 Marksman and come with some sort of magnified scope with the option of upgrading to the aforementioned modified night scope.

bben46 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Having fired the M14 in both semi and full auto, It has a selector switch so the same weapon can be either. Like many light machine rifles, full auto is nearly uncontrollable. However we were trained to never fire more than 3 rounds at a time when using full auto. The recommendation was to aim low and let it rise. Then let off the trigger and re-aim before another short burst. A full auto 20 round magazine emptying burst was used for breaking up an ambush or for suppressing fire in the assault. Suppressing fire is meant to make the other guy keep his head down. In semi auto it was very accurate. We were expected to be able to hit a man sized target consistently at 500 yards (457 meters). The full auto version we used had the bipod attachment. While the semi auto version did not. But it was easy to convert a semi to a full auto even without the bipod. The original intent was for the semi auto version to replace the M1 rifle, and the full auto version to replace the BAR as a squad automatic rifle.

r4y30n Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 And on that note, it's a shame the game can't simulate muzzle climb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilisaurus Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 And on that note, it's a shame the game can't simulate muzzle climb...Mo Beta does it for NV. BoE does it for FO3 as do one or two other mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ockie Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) There is supposed to be a M-14 in the mod "The Last Apache". You may wish to contact the authors of that mod. Also there is a M-14 TRW in the "Tactical Combat Set" Mod, it has black synthetic stock, folded bi-pod, silencer and long range scope on it. Just noticed while looking at the "Tactical Combat Set" the M14 is from another mod called "M14" by Imperator3. It has a few different configurations one of which has the acog and aimpont type scopes. Edited January 18, 2011 by Ockie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
