Ever schlep a Garand or M14?
Much heavier.

9 pounds (approximately) is heavy?
M1 Garand: 9.8 pounds
M1 Garand 15 miles into a 20-mile march: Move decimal 2 places right.
Indeed!

With the M14...have the magazine digging into your neck..or kidney..or
other soft or boney areas.....at the 2 digit move......

I never noticed the M14 as a burden on a 20 mile stroll, sprint the
last mile. The 30 cal machine gun was a burden but not the M14. What
I did notice was the steel pot helmet. I purely hated that goddamned
pot pounding my neck. I am not quite a pencilneck but I gotta say I
hated that friggin' pot.
Copy all that!
