When the M14 being a disaster comes up, someone always says that the M1 Garand could akshually fire faster.
Does it GURPS?
Both are semi-automatic. One by design, one by modification.
The Garand has a magazine capacity of 8 and reload time of 3 (grab, load, ready). Basic load 104 rounds. 3 seconds of shooting, then 3 seconds of reloading. 3x13 for the shooting and 3x12 for the reloading. 75 seconds.
The M14 has a magazine capacity of 20+1 and a reload time of 3. Basic load 100 rounds. 7 seconds of shooting, then 3 seconds of reloading. 7x5 for the shooting and 3x4 for the reloading. 47 seconds.
GURPS busted!
Even if we say that the M14's reload time should be longer because you have to drop the magazine before reloading it only adds 4 seconds to the time. 51 is still shorter than 75 seconds.
