In my personal opinion, the fact that the M14 was fully-automatic is an incredibly important aspect of the weapon's history and use; it was designed as such to serve as a replacement for both the M3 submachine gun and the BAR light machine gun (simultaneously). While it may have failed in both of these roles, and veterans who used the M14 in combat often report that they never used it in its fully automatic configuration, the gun would never have been designed the way it was, if it was not intended to be automatic. \r\n\r\nAs it stands. my suggestion is pretty simple. The existing M14 item could be renamed the [M1A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Armory_M1A) (the modern civilian model, only available in semi-automatic configuration), while a replacement M14 could be copied from it, given a burst size fitting its use (I'd wager a burst of 5 rounds, but I don't know how you fine devs balance burst), and perhaps weighed up slightly to account for the altered mechanics that, in real life, weighed almost half a kilogram more.
