They are still being made by www.springfield-armory.com and would give the engineer class new life:

It would be nice

Re: Bring Back the M1 Rifle!

Uh, a little confusion here. That's a semi-auto M14, which Springfield calls the M1A, but a lot of people think M1 Garand when you say M1.

But yeah, good idea: M14s could've been included as the semi-auto sniper rifles for the USMC, as an answer to the MEC's Dragunovs (SVDs).

The sniper variant is the M21, and having it in BF2 wouldn't necessarily be unrealistic either since M21's and M14's have been deployed in Iraq as a "force multiplier" since the M4's and M16's are considerably weaker.

That looks awsome.

Re: Bring Back the M1 Rifle!

These rifles retain much of the original design of the M1 and BF2 could use a modern version. The M14, SOCOM II or whatever that is looks nice. Its a semi auto close quarters combat rifle according to Springfield. Chambered in .308 win (7.62mm NATO).

I want one irl.

Yeah for a second I thought he was talking about the Garand and perhaps posted in the wrong forum header. It would be nice seeing the appearance of it, but the best we can hope for is that it shows up in a mod.

That looks like the weapon from GRAW.
