The M14 is a rifle created by the US. It was created to replace 4 weapons: M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Browning Automatic Rifle, and the M3 submachine gun (AKA grease gun). It is an improved version of the M1 Garand. The M14 is designed primarily for semi-automatic fire and has a selector switch on the shooter's right at the rear of the reciever that allows for full-automatic fire (though it is uncontrollable while firing on full-automatic). Though it's heavy (11 pounds or 4.9895 kilograms while loaded), it is a great weapon for zombies. The weight makes less than ideal as an on-the-run weapon, but it is suitable as a defensive, hunting, overwatch weapon. The US military uses it as a sniper weapon.
