    though im not an expert on guns, but its not about the gun... its more about the rounds used by the gun... 7.62 rounds had a good through and through penetration, however if i wanted lethal stoping power in small packages, i would choose 5.56 round anytime of the day... but we are talking about accuracy... nothing beats a bolt-action gun over a semi auto gun like the m14

    m14 is designed to replaced the m1 garand which is a battle rifle, it is not design to used as a sniper platfom... howerver M40 is based from hunting rifle Remington Model 700, which is designed for sniping animals... the only disadvantage of m40 is the rate of fire... as what i learned from reading about sniping its not about how fast can you shoot all target its about the accuracy of hitting your target...

    M14/M21 is well suited as a marksman rifle, to bridge the gap between an Assault role and sniper role..

    M14/M21 = Marksman Rifle
    m40/m700 = sniper rifle

    they are basicly different... AFP uses m14 not as a sniper rifle but as a Designated Marksman Rifle, AFP uses M40/M95, but on some certain circumstances they use M14 in a sniper role if situation negates its need, they also use MSSR/NFWS

    Apples to oranges comparison...

    M14 when accurized properly can make a good Designated Marksman's Rifle.

    While the M40 based on the short action M700 is for a long time the favored sniper rifle of the USMC.

    It all boils down to the tool's intended application...
