They don't have M60's anymore, it was replaced with the SAW... M60's are prone to jam, but if you learn their quirks its quite reliable. I carried a M60 for eight years starting with basic training. Four years after basic training when I was promoted to SGT my platoon leader tried to take it away. I told him I would be more than happy to give up my 60 if he could find someone that could out shoot me with it! On the standard qualification course I could hit every target under 300m with 1 round. Targets over 300m would take 1 or 2 rounds so I would have ~20-30 rounds out of 200 left over and would score Expert (highest ranking) every time.quote:Originally posted by sheepdog
I'll say it'd be a good backup...but I'd like to go to war with an M60-and step down from there as the situation dictates.....
I would love to have a M60, but I can't afford the $30,000 that people ask for them! [V]
