The M14 EBR is a highly accurate semi-automatic battle rifle designed for sharpshooters. It is largely considered superior to the lever-action rifle due to its higher rate of fire and ammo capacity, its magazine based reload system, and its mounted laser module. However it actually has a slightly lower damage per shot than the lever-action, although M14 has a unique headshot multiplier of x2.25, unlike the LaR and other rifles which have a multiplier of x2.0.

The M14's headshot damage capabilities are much less than the Crossbow's, as it has far lower base stats and multipliers. It also cannot penetrate and kill multiple opponents like the Crossbow can. While not even half as damaging per shot, the M14 can be fired much more quickly than the Crossbow, with enough damage to generally surpass the Crossbow in damage per second. This practicality of applied force, coupled with the laser sight, make the M14 more versatile in general use against both weak and strong foes.

[edit] Price and ammunition

At £2500 base price the M14 is one of the most expensive weapons in the game, sharing its price tag with the SCARMK17, and M32 Grenade launcher. This price is reduced in intervals of £250 based on your sharpshooter level down to a current minimum of £750. Since no perk offers changes to ammo capacity or cost for the M14 it remains a static cost of £15 per magazine and £225 for a full refill.

[edit] Damage

The M14 has a very high potential sustained damage output. It can fire its full load of 20 bullets in five seconds, and in the hands of a capable level 6 sharpshooter, it can deal over 8640 damage in this time frame. However, this figure is over five times lower without headshots, making accuracy a necessity against powerful targets; a feat made easier by the laser module.

Against Clots, Crawlers, Stalkers, Gorefasts, and Bloats a single headshot is enough in all situations. For big targets like Scrakes and Fleshpounds, it may require up to 6-10 headshots as a level 6 sharpshooter, depending on the difficulty level and number of players in the server. For an experienced Sharpshooter a Fleshpound can be taken out in merely 2,5 seconds with accurate headshots. Alternatively by putting pauses for 3 secs between single shots and cutting eye sight between volleys, a Sharpshooter can take down a Fleshpound without enraging him thus kiting him around, giving time to their teammates to focus fire him from a safe distance in case of enraging.

Considering the resist of Fleshpound and fire rate, M14 offers 50% more dps than LaR and much more dps than Crossbow against Fleshpounds. It's possible to take out one before he finishes enraging animation. As for Scrake's slow but accurate headshots will not provoke them for a long time.

Tactics

Due the intrusive nature of the M14's iron-sights they are largely ineffective at short to medium range, necessitating the ability to effectively aim with without them. This is mostly mitigated by the laser module, toggle-able with alt-fire (and needing no power supply), which effectively acts as a crosshair. This allows the weapon to be effective even at short range, where players can easily maintain their fire on a specimen's head. Most of the time Sharpshooters prefer to pair M14 with Lever-action rifle to take out targets from a distance and handle big targets easily. M14 can be pretty effective tool for hectic Sharps, dual Handcannons are viable with it for more mobility also.

[edit] Origin

The M14 EBR as it appears in Killing Floor is based on a heavily customized Mark 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle, missing the scope, pistol grip, and gaining a laser aiming module and a fixed Sage CA-Mandatory Tactical Stock. It is also missing the ability to toggle between semi- and fully-automatic fire.
