ArtBrooks:

The US Army's standard issue rifle from shortly after the Korean War until well into the Vietnam War was the M-14. We carried them in Korea in 1969. The M-14 was 7.62 NATO caliber, about the same as the Soviet 7.65 that the Kalashnikov (AK-47/AKM/AK-74) fires. It is semi-automatic but anyone could empty its 20-round magazine in somewhat less than 10 seconds, and it certainly fits anyone's definition of an "assult weapon."

BeardedBruce:

The M-14 was a fully automatic weapon. ONLY the civilian versions did not have the mode select- and they were NOT military assult weapons....

So now you are saying that Art is a liar about the kind of weapon he carried in Korea, too? Or could it be that he was mistaken?
