M60 Machine Gun: Newfound Respect

[glennasher]

I was a unit armorer in the 82nd Abn back in '79, I wasn't too impressed with the m60s we had. We got a few new ones in, and in less than 1000 rounds the rivets went out of the recievers, and they had to go in for depot maintenance to get that fixed (beyond our company armorer capabilities). That didn't make me all warm and fuzzy.

I never had any problem with my modified for Aircraft use M60D. It performed great and over 6 years I fired 10s of thousands of rounds out of it.
