One of the reasons was their ample availability after World War II, but they did have advantage in form of their heavy caliber. Typically chambered to 7.62mm, the heavy rounds were ideal to penetrate the dense foliage of Vietnam. Battle tested reliability of battle rifles was appreciated especially among Allied forces who had to deal with early unrealiability of M16 assault rifle series. The Springfield M14 was favored especially by the United States Marine Corps. It featured strongly in Vietnam War movies like "Full Metal Jacket" and "4th of July". Despite new generation assault rifles M14 continues to be used to today by US armed forces. WWII and Korean War workhorse M1 Garand was still used extensively in Vietnam War. They were used by early US units, ARVN, Koreans and Vietcong. Sort by Title | Last Modified | Price | None Tokyo Marui M14 Airsoft Automatic Electric Battle Rifle, Wood Stock SOLD OUT Made in Japan Operating principle: Automatic Airsoft Electric Gun. Fires 750 rounds per minute in full automatic mode. 8.4v battery powered (exchangeable, located in stock). Ammunition: 6mm BBs Magazine capacity: N/A History: Springfield M14 was a successor to the legendary US Army M1 Garand service rifle. M14 was also designed by John Garand and has it's roots in late World War II tests with M1 Garand which had 20-round M1918 BAR magazine custom attached. In the early 1950s T37 evolved into the T44 experimental rifle, which featured redesigned, self-regulated gas system with short stroke gas piston. Further development and tests lead to the slightly modified T44E4 and T44E5 (heavy barreled squad automatic weapon) prototypes, which were finally adopted by US Army as M14 and M15 rifles in the 1957. However, in 1964 the production of Springfield M14 was terminated - due to direct feedback from personnel in Vietnam. The M14 was too heavy and long for jungle warfare enviroment plus it's heavy 7.62mm ammunition posed problems for controlled full automatic firing and the amount of ammunition individual soldiers could carry to battle.

Please contact us for second hand models. Made in Japan Operating principle: Non-firing model gun, can cycle cartridges and eject empty clip like real M1 Garand M1 "Garand" Rifle was an excellent combat rifle in World War II that was chambered to powerful .30-06 rifle cartridge. It could engage targets effectively up to 400 meters and unlike many rifles of its time, it could fire semiautomaticly. Perhaps the most distinquished feature of M1 was it's 8-round stripper clip that gave unique sound when ejected after last round was shot. This feature has been well reproduced in this non-firing model gun that can cycle and eject cartridges manually (cocking lever must be pulled to eject cartridge) until empty clip is ejected with the famous "ping!" sound. M1 Garand was still used some twenty years later in Vietnam War where it was first used by early US military advisors and subsequently by Popular Forces, ARVN and other Free World military forces. For the latter it was distributed in wide scale even if it was rather bulky and heavy in recoil for the small statured Vietnamese soldiers. This model gun features the following: * Fully functional full metal and real wood construction giving it unmatched realistic appearance * Fully field strippable, same takedown procedure as in real M1 Garand * Identical loading operation as in real M1 Garand * Can be loaded and cocked like real M1 Garand * Dummy .30-06 cartridges will cycle and eject like real when you operate the cocking lever * Empty clip will eject like in real M1 Garand and with authentic "ping!" sound! We have supplied this highly realistic M1 Garand rifle to law enforcement demonstration units and reenactors among others. Comes with eight dummy .30-06 cartridges and a clip.
