For anyone that has seen Full Metal Jacket, is it accurate as far as the M14 being the rifle used in boot camp and then the M16 being what everyone had in Vietnam? I know that the M16 was used during vietnam, but I'm wondering if they were really still using the M14 in training.
Also, Pvt. Pyle refers to the round for his M14 as "7-6-2 millimeter". Is that correct? Maybe I'm getting the Mini-14 confused with the M14, but I always thought it was .223.
