fw: M-60 MG

[David Walters <dwalters@xxxxxxx>]

Never ask the 'Mekong Mikes' and Rambo wannabes of Special Forces anything.
No one ever thought that the M-60 wasn't necessary for close fighting. They
had so much other stuff, they couldn't carry it. Infantry still does.

The M-60 is still being issued, it is still being manufactured, still
issued, and still deployed. In the military, what is deployed has been
issued.

There are different versions of the M-60 in use, including ones that mount
on light vehicles, infantry versions with stocks, and ones that mount on
tanks. The US Navy uses them to guard their ships from attacks like what
happened against the USS Cole.

It fires 7.62 mm bullets.

You can be sure that the US troops will use it again as it is a powerful,
usually well functioning light machine gun (though one misfired on me and I
still have fragments in my right hand from the exploded bullet that
ejected).
