It was the perfect paper answer for more firepower. In reality I observied M-14's being fired from fairly good shooting positions in combat. Many actual films showed M-16's being fired one handed over or around cover with no sighting, etc
I am from the very old school, but I wonder about training courses with AR's using 1,000 rounds or more. This thread is not m-14 vs AR's but damn only the hits count!!!!

If you go to training and fire a lot of rounds your chances of making hits when the stuff hits the fan are a lot better. The guys firing one handed over or around cover were not trained that well.
