I do far better with my beloved leaver action than the m14, however when I can afford it I run a LAR and the M14. The LAR is a headshotting machine, I find the m14 less accurate, maybe it's just the runk iron site.

M14 would probably become my favorite weapon if it had a scope or good irons. I do aim from the hip some, but good irons are a must. If a gun has crappy irons, I don't even bother using it. The funny thing is, the AA12 and pump shotgun have great iron sights.
I know people rag on the M14 all the time for its ironsights, and that's reasonable...but this is the thing that's always bothered me the most about it. The shotgun and AA12 don't even need ironsights at all, really, and the M14 has such bad sights. It makes no sense

The funny thing about it is those shotguns both have really good iron sights. I do use them on occasion, but it is kinda sad.
the laser sight is actualy correct problem is the m14 bullets dont always go where you aim.
they have a slight drift i guess you could say. i dont know what the exact term is but im sure some one does.
its most obvious with guns like the bulpup, ak, scar and pistol.
and im not even refering to full auto or continuous fire, i mean perfectly aiming standing still first shot with these guns can sometimes go wild.
sadly the m14 is also seems to be affected by this sometimes.
I find darker, gloomier maps more helpful since the laser is really easy to see and roll over to their head, otherwise I try to roll from chest to head. Definitely easier to get overrun by lots of smaller specimens so I feel it's balanced for how badly upper specs die from it. For my own gaming I am against this but I was curious so I stuck a piece of tape on center where the laser is to test the accuracy and it is amazing.
Somehow the iron sights feel a little better than before, was there some kind of stealth fix? If there was, it shouldn't have been cuz I've lurked the forums for a few months and everyone wants it. Reason I think is the fork is now lined up with the laser, which from memory was not.

It's a decent weapon for killing clots/gorefasts/husks, because the LAR can be carried with it, and saves LAR ammo for stunning scrakes and slowly killing FPs.
That being said, for the price of an M14, even at lvl 6 sharp, you could simply buy 4 LARs and drop them all over the map, and run faster the entire time without the weight of the M14; they need to improve the iron sights, all I ever use the M14 for is noscoping with the laser sight because it is superior (albeit glitchy)

lol the $200 gun being used for Scrakes and FP while the $799 (perked price) gun gets relegated to trash clean up.....
i think this pretty much sums up the M14
In fact M14 can kill anything in game. And, LAR instan-rage fps when perked. So...
LAR gives me another 80 shots, one head shot sirens and husks on 6-man HoE, one shot crawlers and able to stun scrakes. I use M14 for anything else.
Well yeah... I use aa12 for trash and hunting shotgun for bigs. It has nothing do with prize. Just use the best combo for me and use the most effective weapon for different zeds.

I think this must be fixed. I mean M14, not LAR. This is gay, when you can't kill sirens and husks in 6p HoE game with 1 headshot from "tier 3" sharpshooter weapon (they survive with 5hp left).
+1
oh i understand all that i just ment that people actualy have the mentality that the gun is supposed to be regulated to trash clean up duty.....
i think ill spend a week or so trying to make the m14 work for me but seems to me the m14 is just a handicap in some ways.

Yeah, and if you point out the fix people usually just say "WELL THE SIGHTS STILL LOOK BAD". Most don't even know it's accurate now because they haven't used it in a couple months.
The M14 has become very tough to use well, which makes most people think that it is a pea-shooter. It IS a handicap if you cannot use it well. However, if you can use it well it is hands down the best weapon for a competent Sharpshooter (when paired with the LAR of course, but who would carry the M14 w/o the LAR?)
The only time I would ever use a xbow is when penetration is absolutely necessary because there is a very long hall you are holding. Otherwise efficiency, potential damage dealt, price, almost everything is going against the xbow in favor for the M14.
To put it simply, learn to use the M14 well because it will rape anything that gets in front of it.
