M60


M60 is an american light machine gun used during Vietnam War until today. His advantages are : big caliber (7,62), big, box magazine and ability to shoot, while the barrel is warm to white. But M60 has also a few drawbacks : mechanism used to jammed in jungle or in dirty places (so soldiers used to called this weapon "a pig") and this LMG is really, relly heavy : 10,5 kilos. Another minus is strong recoil, but it's normal, especially of this caliber.

Bullet : 7.62x51 NATO
Magazine : 100 (box mag)
Country : USA
Inventor : Steering Division Company (of the General Motors)
