The United States Navy Mark 14 Enhanced Battle rifle (EBR) is an American selective fire military rifle chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. It is a variant of the M14 battle rifle and was originally built for use with units of the United States Naval Special Warfare Command, such as the United States Navy SEALs. The EBRs are made with the intention of carrying out both designated marksman and CQB roles in combat. Since 2010, the U.S. Army has made available two M14EBR-RI rifles per infantry squad for units deploying to Afghanistan. The M14EBR-RI has a standard weight 22.0" barrel and lugged GI flash hider, it is not to be confused with the MK14 Mod 0 or Mod 1.
Several configurations are allowed on the Mark 14 Mod 0 rifle, among them include the attachment of the AN/PVS-4 night vision scope. Others had included the capability of adding two different scopes/sights on the Picatinny rails, for more precision or zoom level.
