[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1662928, member: 97050"] It was money, capacity and a lighter rifle that switched the 762 to a 556 as a standard cartridge. The recoil that is talked about is in full auto, which didn’t work well in ammo vs hits so they put a 3 rd burst on the A2s. This is before suppressive fire became a doctrine. The m14 in full auto does suck, so, I’m sure that made sense at the time, but for what the was needed in Vietnam, the m16 was a better option. The inability to apply fundamental techniques to control recoil is what deteriorates accuracy. I’m only speaking from experience, I was a team guy. No one ever said, “oh no, I’m not taking the .338lm out today...it’s recoil is overpowering and I’m not accurate with it” Now I can’t wait for someone to ask “ well the why is socom using the creed now?” “Or why are they making a mk48 in 6.5 creed?” [/QUOTE]
