I have a M14 Socom 16. I was wonder what kind of loadout I can do with it. I have googled pictured and have done some research, but I can not find a loadout for that gun. Any help would be appreciated.

Truth be told, there really isn't one. Unfortunately you can't build a loadout around every gun sold.
If you really wanted to build a loadout around an M14, you would need to either convert it to an EBR or an M21.

Thor, do you what era they were/are used? And what military group used them?

Are you talking about the M21 and EBR? If so, modern Army SF and Seals are just some of the cool guys that use EBR's.

Yep, there are pictures of Army SF guys, SEALs, and I think even some Marine Force Recon guys using M21's or Mk14 EBR's. Otherwise, your only other option is to get a full length barrel and do an old school early Vietnam loadout.

That photo is badass. Yet another shot that makes me glad to have bought a cqbr. Shyts 1337 as fug.
Are all EBR's a short barrel version?

Ebr kits are expensive to put on an Echo1. I am guessing so military group used a Socom 16?

Can you rephrase your question? It doesn't make much sense.

I am sorry for that. I was asking, so is there no miltary group that used a socom16?

If I remember correctly the original soc16 was developed for the SEALS... I can't seem to find the article at the moment, however.
Basically, just like with any rifle, make a SF loadout and if anyone says it's not right, punch them in the face.
(don't really punch em in the face.)

Not officially, as far as I know. The real steel SOCOM II and SOCOM 16 rifles are made for the civilian market, not for the military. They're produced by Springfield Armory.

Tali's right, though. The truly elite soldiers have a very wide breadth of discretion in what they use and how they use it. If anyone tries to claim that Delta never use the SOCOM 16, ask them how they got the clearance and proved the need-to-know to obtain a comprehensive list of every weapon ever used by Delta operators. Your interrogator will either admit that they were just trying to be a douche, or will provide their credentials as a former Delta armorer. Should the latter occur, try to focus on the bright side. Your choice of AEG, though inauthentic, has just put you in one of the coolest conversations you may ever have. (Edited for style.)

That was one of the smartest things I've read on this forum. Ever. I was going to essentially say the same thing, but worded in a less complex manner: Delta do what want, always. You say no, Delta SMASH!

And Pariah... I will start on my loadour. What era of SF or Seals should I make my loadout for?
