Isn't the argument for 5.56 that it is controllable in automatic fire? That being the entire point of military doctrine these days, I would have to say that the M14 hasn't been an effective weapon in a squad role since World War I.
Also: welcome steve(numberstring). Happy reading.
Here's a fun weapon for you: the American 180. The huge submachine gun in .22rimfire. That was kind of the earliest version of the AN-94 in a way. The idea being it would put two or more rounds in the same place.
