M14 EBR

M14 Enchanted Battle Rifle or simply M14 EBR or just M14, is an exclusive assault rifle in Counter-Strike Online. It was added into the game since 1 March 2011 for Singapore/Malaysia version and not available in original Counter-Strike.

History
Originally built and designed for the US Navy SEALs, the M14EBR is the improved variant of the famous M14 automatic rifle that first came to usage in the Vietnam War.

EBR, the acronym for “Enhanced Battle Rifle”, lives up to its “enhanced” tag: complete with an improved pistol grip and rifle stock that compliments new features such as a bipod, plastic handshield and a night vision scope.

The M14EBR’s stock in particular, has been one of the more marked improvements from its M14 predecessor. A notable flaw of the M14 was its wooden stock which affected its shooting accuracy, to the extent of rendering the rifle’s fully automatic mode little more than a waste of the US taxpayer’s dollars in terms of ammunition. The M14EBR’s manufacturers introduced a new lightweight alloy for the improved version’s stock. Stock rails were also implemented to reduce recoil, giving the M14EBR a sturdy yet lightweight frame.

Counter-Strike Online’s M14EBR provides an accurate version of an assault rifle famed for its accuracy. It packs a mean amount of damage too. At 40%, the new M14EBR packs more punch than the M4A1 and even the AK-47!
