M-14 is not going away from the Navy dispite the Canandians useing C-7 for there ship security and line throws.

If it didn’t work, and didn’t get the job done they wanted it to, then they wouldn’t be using it.

Get a Desert Eagle one with .50 AE... But in all seriousness, a 7.62 NATO would be in order I think. Why don’t you just buy an NFL quarterback?

Muzzle energy? I'm inclined to agree with Gregory, .223 just doesn't seem like it would have the yutzpah to get 'er done. A hot shotgun blank seems more suited to this task.

The US Coast Guard evaluated the M16 as a line throwing gun decades ago and found it inadequate. The report may still be available online from DTIC. In addition, the US Navy is replacing the majority of M14 on board ships with M16A3, except for those used for line throwing. Interesting.
