A M14 Rifle is a semi-automatic rifle. It is a two handed weapon and can be attached to the back of a character to reduce weight.
Usage
Weapon
The M14 Rifle is a semi-automatic rifle, utilizing M14 (.308) Clips as ammo. It can only hit one target at a time and does not pierce through targets. Should the rifle jam on the player, press X to rack it and unjam it.
The M14 might not seem all that impressive statisically speaking, but as a rifle against the MSR700/788, it is a substantially better rifle with it's 20 round clip and excellent hit chance, topped with a tight damage and low jamming chance. Unlike the bolt-action rifles the M14 also does not need to be manually racked after firing, allowing for faster followup shots. The M14 excels in dispatching small packs of hordes at range. However, this is not a rifle for low level aiming and to be used effectively requires level 5+ aiming.
Attachments
The M14 Assault Rifle can be fitted with the following attachments with the use of a screwdriver:
- x2, x4, x8 Scopes: Increases firing range.
- Laser: Increases Accuracy.
- Recoil Pad: Reduces recoil.
- Red Dot: Increases aiming speed.
To install these attachments, ensure that you have a screwdriver in your inventory, right click the M14 you want to modify, click on 'Upgrade' and pick the attachment you want to install.
Condition
The M14 Rifle is a firearm and, as such, the durability of the weapon is dependent on the player's aiming skill. This weapon's chance of losing durablity is: 1 in (60 + aiming x 2)
.
Repairing
Requires level 5 Aiming and another M14 Rifle to repair with. The higher the aiming skill is, the chances of a better and successful repair go up. Remember that with each consective repair, the amount of durablity restored decreases.
Distribution
Buildings
The M14 can be found in police stations, military bases, gun shops, and in rare cases, in rifle cases in homes.
Vehicles
The M14 can also be found in the trunk of police cruisers as well.
Trivia
- The M14 was issued to replace the M1 Garand in the late 50's, but was in turn replaced by the M16 in the late 60's. It has remained in limited service for training, sharpshooter roles, and ceremonial use, amongst other purposes.
- There are models in the game hinting at the possiblity of attaching a bayonet + flashlight and even an improvised version. However none of this is in-game yet.
