		The M21 is the semi-automatic sniper rifle adaptation of the popular M14 rifle.
		A semi-automatic rifle is a type of rifle that, when the trigger is pulled, fires a bullet and loads another cartridge from a magazine, without the need to operate a bolt or other loading mechanism.
		The M21 remained the Army’s sniper rifle until 1988 when it was replaced by the M24 SWS (Sniper Weapon System) bolt action rifle.

	THE ENERGIZER RIFLE: M-14 Sniper Rifle
		The M16 was seen as a true "assault" rifle, where it was expected to be used at ranges of well inside 300m and was much more controllable under fully automatic conditions than was the M14.
		Though initially deployed as a standard issue rifle with a scope, the M14 was soon specifically selected by the Army's Marksmanship Unit to be converted into a dedicated, purpose-built sniper rifle.
		Introduced in 1969 (type classified in 1975) as the M21 sniper rifle, the M21 is essentially a National Match (NM) grade Springfield Armory M14.

	The M24 Sniper Weapon System
		The downsides to 5-R rifling are the greater than normal metallic fouling of the bore during the break-in period, and greater difficulty in barrel production, resulting in a more expensive barrel.
		Depending upon the caliber of the rifle on which the scope is mounted, the shooter selects the appropriate cam, sights in the rifle, and then can dial in the range on the BDC (though, of course, the shooter must still take into account altitude, humidity, temperature, etc., as they affect bullet drop).
		With ten years of use, several new barrels and approximately 75,000 rounds through them, the rifles have performed well beyond the expectations of those involved with the system’s development, in particular given that the rifles are used for training and undergo significant stresses.
