Trivia

 * The M14 EBR in real life can be chambered with 7.62 NATO rounds and fed with 20 rounds only instead of 5.56 AZ and 24 rounds.
 * This is a fictional weapon but the original M14 EBR can be combined with a scope.
 * The reload animation of this weapon is incorrect. The user should press the magazine slot first before removing the magazine.
 * When scopped, its zoom rate is less than AWP which means it is not very good in long range.
 * Its first zoom is just to increase its accuracy due to no crosshair.
 * The scope and the weapon was tied. It is not well-attached.
 * There is a skull on the scope.
 * This weapon is perfect for only those who have first experienced it in battle.
