9 жыл бұрынThe 7.62mm NATO M60E6 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) represents the latest improvements to the M60 Series of machine guns. It is a gas operated, disintegrating link, belt fed, air-cooled machine gun. It fires from an open bolt and features a quick-change barrel. The M60E6 features a machined aluminum feed cover with integrated M1913 Picatinny rail for mounting optics. An aluminum M1913 rail handguard provides for the mounting of infrared laser aiming devices and other sensors, giving the weapon 24 hour capability.

A blast from the past! I showed my youngest Daughter this weapon at an SAR show last Dec. She could not believe that was something I had to carry around on a perimeter security detail, from age 19 to 23. Funnier still is how old the weapon is. I showed Lil-D, a photo of a Marine in Vietnam using this weapon, in a 2 man crew set up, in 1966. Funnier still in 1986, in ITS, I was being trained on the E3. Sad fact was the grip screw would loosen up and the forward grip came off. Oddly enough, our dog tags were the right size to get in there to tighten it up. LOL! Memories of the pig and its parts! Great vid! Thanks!

I was the M60 guy in my scout platoon, had the high All Army score with it, 183 out of 185, for two years and could break it down into it's 7 major pieces in less that 4 seconds. First day we saw it the DI was firing it from his shoulder, couldn't hit shit and he caught me laughing at him and asked if I could do better. I said "Absolutely", walked up, took the sling off the butt of the weapon, made it as long as possible so it was on the ground, put my left foot on the sling and fired from my shoulder, got a hell of a lot more rounds on target. "Where did you learn that??" "I figured it out myself. I know I don't get paid to think so consider that a freebie."

On the other hand there is a lot more pressure on me as my fire support is more important and my gun is more complex. I am really liking this gun, it's great in so many ways, but a pain in the a** to carry. My only complaint about the gun itself though is when assemblying the top cover, the silver rail-thing is quite difficult to get in place just right.

Would certainly prefer this for dismounted work than a M240, the pig has always been comparatively light and quite well balanced. One of the problems with the US Army is the attempts to make everyone use the same weapons and to have only a small variety. In the case of the M240 (Bravo or the newer Echos) is that while they're fine medium machine guns they're just not well suited to the role of a true LMG where one man often has to employ it and move around a great deal.

You know, the M60's flaws were well known back in the Vietnam era. All of these upgrades were possible back then, and if they'd been done, the M60 would probably still be the US military's GMPG today. There never was anything wrong with the gun's basic design; it's bugs -- like a non-adjustable front sight, barrel-mounted bipod, a gas system that can be easily assembled backward, a front vent plug that has to be safety wired down to keep the gun from disassembling itself as it fires, et al. -- were all eminently curable. I am at a loss why the military allowed the gun to remain in service for over three decades without ever fixing these problems. The army was switching over when I was in during the late '90s. When my unit got the M240, the machine gunners all appreciated the greater reliability, but they also all hated the fact that it was five pounds heavier than the M60. Believe me, when you have to carry something on 25 mile tactical foot marches, you want to shave off every extra ounce you can, and a weapon that was five pounds heaver caused a lot of grumbling.
@absoleet 8 жыл бұрын
Take a look at the Forgotten Weapons video, there were several basic design compromises with the M60 that caused 2 long term durability problems - bolt peening and receiver wear/flex, which would be cause for tossing the whole thing if it were another gun. The E6 mods only fixed the smaller issues but couldn't address the basic flaws without having to redesign the whole gun entirely. And I think the E6 didn't fix the simple trigger sear design that could wear out if the trigger wasn't depressed fully.
@Hibernicus1968 7 жыл бұрын
Capt Trdl, I think you are confusing the FN MAG/M240 with the M249 SAW. The 240 is in 7.62mm NATO, just like the M60 is. The M249 is the 5.56mm weapon.
@Alakarr 7 жыл бұрын
I was a Small Arms Repairer (MOS 45B at the time, now 91F) for 12 years. Absoleet is on the money with the real basic flaws of the M60, but in addition to the bolt peening issue, you also had a similar issue with the operating rod yolk and the bolt cam groove. I can't count the number of M60's I had to beat open with a hammer because the yolk roller shattered from the deformation of the cam groove causing the whole operating rod/bolt assembly to lock in battery. The most commonly replaced parts on the M60's (at my level of maintenace) were the operating rod and bolt. The receiver issue was also very real. The M60 receiver is sheet metal with two rail plates flat riveted to the inside to act as guide rails for the operating group. Needless to say, between the handling a grunt can give any weapon and the pounding from firing, those plates loosen up. When that happens the whole weapon has to be replaced, with the broken weapon going in for depot rebuild. The improvements US Ordnance made are really nice, but even with them the M60 is inferior to the M240/MAG 58.

Back in the day, the M60 was part of our TO&E. We had a world class armorer who had some Navy connections thru the old-boy network and the first thing he did when a new 60 came in was convert it into a maremont; shorter barrel, different muzzle device, forward handgrip and worked his magic on the internals. I personally believe this involved black cats and a full moon, but I couldn't prove it. In any case, the weapon was lighter, functioned better and wasn't a complete pain to jump with. The IG wasn't real happy with it, but kept his mouth shut when taken to the range and invited to try the modded gun against the issue gun.

The absurdity was that the US Ordnance Corps saw fit to adopt a GPMG that did not meet varied and necesaary operational and ergonomic requirements. The M60 prototype should have been compared against existing GPMG designs and the necessarity changes made to incorporate the best GPMG features that existed. Additionally, extensive GI and USMC user tesats needed to be done. Still the M60 worked most of the time that the trigger was pulled, but it was a most inferior GPMG upon its adoption.

We should have just adopted the MG53 (Yugoslavia model of the mg42 correct?) & Either chamber it to 7.62x51 nato - the MG42 was decades ahead of it's time & the rate of fire needed to be reduced from 1,200 rpm to 800 or 900 rpm Roller blow back, easy barrel R&R Awesome piece of machinery (just thank the Lord I've never had to face the business end of 1)

Quite amazing to see how far the 60 has come since its debut back in 1957. Of course, not a southpaw-friendly GPMG (unless you're in possession of a brass catching container, which I believe E&L Manufacturing makes), but still--a massive improvement over the E1 model from its heyday. OuO

A lot of guys complained about the 60 but growing up through the ranks with the pig, (ammo bearer, A-gunner then Gunner) the biggest issue with the it was with blanks in training, firing ball ammo never really an issue, especially if cleaned and you were well versed in immediate action drills, load, fire, reduce, stoppages and clearing. Hopefully they came up with a better blank adapter for training as well. These up grades seem to be spot on, I think covering the inside of forearm assembly with a heat dissipating material would keep the aluminum from heating up with extended firing, and moving the carrying handle from the receiver to the barrel and making the front sight adjustable is pure genius, along with losing the lacing wire from the barrel assembly for easier cleaning. I wish they would have came up with this before the Army retired the weapon system.
@edmundcharles5278 5 жыл бұрын
The M60 blanks were a major sourrce of the weapon jamming, as the retarted blank cartridge gasses quickly fouled up the entire receiver with carbon buildup. With regular ammo, the M60 performed very well if you kept it clean.
