M14 EBR


 * For the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops variant, see M14.

The M14 EBR is a Sniper Rifle featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Special Ops
An unscoped M14 EBR can be used by the player in the Special Ops mission, Breach & Clear. This is the only time in the game where this weapon can be used without a scope. Although it is unscoped, it retains a relatively large amount of idle sway. The iron sights have the same amount of zoom as an ACOG Scope.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer, the M14 EBR is designated as the "M21 EBR" and it is unlocked at level 56. Due to its low recoil and large magazine, most players will instinctively fire two quick shots even if one will do. This causes M14 users to burn through ammo faster than other sniper rifles in the hands of most players. This is popular as a stealth weapon online, as it takes two shots anywhere on the body with a Silencer and without Stopping Power to kill with any sniper rifle. The weapon's low recoil and large magazine make it the preferred sniper for two-shot kills and in hardcore mode. When used without a Silencer and with Stopping Power, it is capable of one shot kills to the head, neck, and chest. Due to its high rate of fire and low recoil, it is popular amongst users with rapid-fire controllers, and in Hardcore modes. Considering the maximum health in Hardcore is reduced to only 30, and using the M21 with a suppressor will still retain one shot kills, unless shooting through thick surfaces or against a Last Stand, Final Stand, or Painkiller user.

If an ACOG is attached, it can be used as a very powerful battle rifle. With the ACOG attached, it is similar to the FAL, except the M14 can kill in 1-2 shots and fires faster than the FAL (although with a Holographic Sight and Stopping Power the FAL is always a 2 hit kill from any range and 1 shot to the head at close range). However, the M14 will have idle sway while the FAL won't, which some players may find irritating.

Trivia

 * Soap is often seen with the M14 EBR, such as in "Cliffhanger", "The Enemy Of My Enemy" and "The Gulag"
 * On the right side of the gun, there is yellow lettering which reads "SD-619," referring to the abbreviation and area code of the city of San Diego, California.
 * On Infinity Ward's website the M14 EBR was voted as the favorite sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
 * The M14 EBR makes the same third-person sound as the M14 and the M21 from Call of Duty 4, while it makes a different first person sound.
 * The following can see written on the gun:
 * 'U.S. RIFLE'
 * '7.62 MM MK 14'
 * 'IW4'
 * '111408'
 * Players can still see the M14 EBR's iron sights even with the scope attached.
 * In multiplayer, the M14 EBR has little to no firing cap, therefore a player with a fast trigger finger can fire the weapon as if it's fully automatic.
 * The M14 EBR's iron sights have the same zoom as the ACOG scope. This can be easily seen if compared with the AK-47 with ACOG in Breach & Clear.
 * The M14 EBR, M1 Garand and the PTRS-41 are the only semi-automatic sniper rifles to have usable iron sights.
 * The M14 EBR's Heartbeat Sensor will not be camouflaged if camouflage is applied. It is the only weapon in the game where this is the case. The same goes for the Thermal and ACOG Scope.
 * The M14 EBR is the only sniper rifle in which camouflages apply to the scope.
 * Fall Camo appears purple on the inside of the M14 EBR's scope, this also occurs on the SCAR-H and the FAMAS.
