this is cod where guns with similar magazine dimensions hold drastically different amounts of ammo
p sure all big mbrs of cold war (ar-10, m14, fal, g3) used 20 rounders as primary magazines
30 rounders were reserved for HBAR variants like the C2

First video is standard 20 round AR-10 magazine.
Second video is special HBAR LMG variant of the AR-10, which was only a prototype iirc.

The sights on the M14 are probably better, but the AR-10 has a in line stock and pistol grip along with the ability to be belt feed. Your probably right about the sniper role but AR-10 would probably be better as a DMR.

I don't think so. The AR-10 really is superior to the 15, I can't remember why it wasn't adopted.

apparently the AR-10 was as easy as a FAL to clean, making it a rape rifle

The M-14 is, naturally, a better choice for a DMR due to it's better irons and long range accuracy.
After all the M-14 is already used as a DMR and has been since the 1960s at least.

It was a barrel problem. They used a lighter non-steel barrel that failed in a test, and they couldn't fix it in time. Some of the guns sold, but it definitely should've replaced the M1. And it'd probably still be the standard rifle today if it had.

1) We already had an MBR, the M-14.
2) We were in the process of transitioning to a smaller cartridge.
That's probably why the AR-10 was axed for US military procurement and the AR-15 was developed using the same platform. |:
Besides, it was adopted by the Sudanese and Portuguese, so it wasn't clearly not ready, just too late for the US Army.

What is your terrain, weather, , enemy armor like, enemy infantry like, your army like, your resources, etc?

Mainly for intimidation and foiling lolobvious assassination attempts, and sometimes acting as diplomats and generals. So enemy armor will probably be lightweight bulletproof vests at most, and they'll likely be using guns of some sort. Resources aren't a problem, they're all rich and self-funded.
A Serrated modernized falcata, kopis, or kukri.

Agreed. That's why I used the example of a 'hardass'. You know, someone who maybe has killed someone, or someone who does use violence to settle disputes, as opposed to two 'average' people. On Killing and On Combat ought to be required reading before RPing on NS.

Why the love for forward-curving single edge swords? Also, serration is bad because it makes swords less effective as swords.
Because they have great cutting and chopping properties which are a swell thing to have against a lightly armored opponent. Add the swords serration is for imitation and the Spartas put slight amounts of serration on there kopises for ripping properties. I would also recommend the Glaudius and the kilik.
