I've heard plenty of versions of that one. What's as big as an M1 Garand, weighs more, (ready to fire) and has semi-controllable offhand full auto fire? The M 14. I'm glad to have had the M 16 when I was in. For a while, during 1975, The assigned me a M3A1 submachine gun. I called it my scrooch gun. It looked cool, but weighed a ton of bricks. For their next experiment they assigned me a M1911A1. That worked. They changed it to a M16 with the M203 grenade launcher.
