Yeah, me too.

Even though I like the M14, I do prefer the FAL over it, along w/ the rifle the German Army used to use in late'60's-early'70's..

 Personally I
 would favor an FAL and own one at home.

 M14's ?

 Is this a typo or is it
 something from a lot further back then 18 years?

  While
  going through some old
 files I found this bit of
  correspondence
 with SF NCO from 18 years ago.  I'm

 thinking of using this in the place of the canonical
 Dorsai
  organization for my bad guys.
  Well now,
  let me think. Below
 is all meat. HQ guys not included (who

 would equal about 60 folks altogeter.)

      Squad:

      1 x MAG58 GPMG
     
 2 x M79
  Grenade Launchers (Grenadiers/FT
 Leaders also have MP5
  SMG)

     1
  x RPG9 (Grenadier also has MP5
 SMG)
      8 x M14 Rifles

     SL x MP5
  SMG

         
       ___
         
     
 |___|SL
         

     |
       

 ----------------------
       
  |        

 |          |
     
  MAG58     

 M79        M79
     
  Rifleman   Rifleman   Rifleman
     
  RPG9      
  Rifleman   Rifleman

    
            
  Rifleman   Rifleman

      The advantage of a

 twelve man squad is that is can absorb casualties and
 still
  have sufficient balanced firepower to
 accomplish its
  mission.

      Platoon:

      3 x Squads (36)
     
 1 x
  Weapons Squad (14)

        
  2 x four man MG teams (MAG58
 w/tripod)
         
  2
 x three man 60 mm Mortar teams.

      1 x PL (MP5)
      1
 x PS
  (MP5)
      1
  x Medic (unarmed)
      2 x
 RTO (M14)
      2 x

 Runners (M14)

     
 Total Platoon
  Strength = 57. Pretty big
 compared to "modern"
  thinking,
 but lots of ooomph and staying power.
