The M14 rifle is indeed still in use by the US Military. While most soldiers are issued the M16 , or the carbine version of the M16, the M14 is still used where longer range fire and greater penetration may be needed.

The M14 is still in use in limited niche roles. Most of the M14s used by the Marine Corps have had the full auto capability removed, which makes sense, as just about all of the 7.62x51 battle rifles (M14, G3, FAL, etc) are just short of impossible to control on full auto.
