Description:
Features: The 7.62mm M-60 Machine Gun is
a general purpose
gun that can be used on a bipod, tripod, or vehicular mount. It is a
belt-fed, air-cooled, gas-operated, automatic weapon that fires from
the open-bolt position. A metallic split-link belt feeds ammunition to
the M-60. As the gun fires, the belt links become unlinked and eject
from the gun. Issued with each M-60 is a spare barrel with bipod
assembly.
Background: The M-60 machine gun is an
air-cooled, belt-fed, gas-operated automatic weapon. The machine gun
was originally developed for use by ground troops; however, it is used
on many types and classes of ships, river craft, and combat
helicopters. |
