The Machine Gun, 7.62, M60, is an American GPMG, developed by the US Ordnance Office to replace the aging design of the BAR rifles. Built using designs like the MG42 and FG-42, the M60 uses a gas operated feeding system and an open rotating bolt. It uses disintegrating belts of 7.62x51 NATO cartridges. Introduced in 1957, and serviced in 1959, the M60 saw notable action in conflicts such as the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. It served a relatively short life in service, being replaced by the M240 in 1977.
The M60 has been a problematic platform, with constant updates and modifications to fix issues with the platform. From the M60E1 to M60E6, every version has modifications to improve the performance of the M60 platform.
The M60 is featured in Insurgency:Sandstorm as the M60E4.
