Histoire

Le fusil M14 a été créé aux États-Unis à la fin des années 1950 pour remplacer les anciens fusils de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il tirait une grosse cartouche capable d'atteindre des cibles éloignées avec une grande puissance d'arrêt. Il possédait une crosse en bois, un chargeur de vingt cartouches et des organes de visée en fer solides.

L'Éthiopie a reçu d'importantes cargaisons de fusils M14 des États-Unis pendant les programmes d'aide militaire de la Guerre froide. Les soldats éthiopiens, y compris les unités de la garde impériale et les bataillons d'infanterie, utilisaient cette arme comme fusil de service standard. Il s'est avéré très durable dans des environnements variés, des hautes terres rocheuses aux plaines arides.
