M60 Machine Gun
Overview
The M60 is a belt fed machine gun that fires the 7.62 mm cartridge NATO's commonly used in large rifles. It is generally used as crew-served weapons and operated by a team of two or three men. The team consists of the gunner, assistant gunner (A-gunner in military jargon), and the ammunition bearer. The gun weight and the amount of ammunition it consumes when fired make it difficult for a single soldier to carry and operate. Striker takes the weapon and, depending on your strength and endurance, anywhere from 200-1000 rounds of ammunition. The wizard has a spare barrel and extra ammunition, and returns to pay the points and goals for the gunner. The ammunition bearer carries additional ammunition and the tripod with partners that traverse and elevation mechanism, if issued, and get more ammunition, as necessary during cooking.

The basic ammunition load carried by the crew is 600 to 900 rounds and in theory allows approximately two minutes of continuous firing at the maximum rate of fire. All transport equipment over the base load, sometimes three or more times the basic amount. [Citation needed]
The M60 can be fired accurately at short distances from the shoulder due to its design. This was a prerequisite to the design and robbery over the concept of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle. It can also be launched from the integral bipod, tripod, M122, and some other media.
M60 ammunition comes in a fabric messenger bag containing a cardboard box of 100 rounds of pre-linked. The M1 M60 changed from link to link different M13, a change in the link of the older system that was not compatible. The cloth strap is reinforced to allow it to hang the current version of the tray. Historically, the units used in Vietnam cans of C-rations B3a blocked packets in the system of ammunition box attachment to shoot the ammunition belts over a straight and smooth feeding port of loading to improve the reliability of the feed. The later models changed the ammunition box junction and in which this adaptation unnecessary.
History
The M60 machine gun began development in late 1940 as a program to a new, more 7.62 mm light machine gun. The design includes features that had been successful in previous designs (especially the German MG 42 and FG 42), as well as own improvements. It is intended to replace the M1918 Browning M1919A6 Browning automatic rifle and machine gun firing in the automatic weapon role. He was also to replace the family M1919 machine gun in the role of media. One of the tests of weapons against it during the procurement process was the FN MAG.
The experimental T-44 gun machine developed by German FG 42 and MG 42 machine guns.
The U.S. Army M60 was officially adopted in 1957. He later served in the Vietnam War, a weapons platoon automatic with many U.S. units. Every soldier in the rifle squad would lead to another 200 linked rounds of ammunition for M60, a spare barrel, or both. The up-ACAV M113 armored personnel killed two gunners added next to the M60 main gun 50, and Rio had a patrol in addition to two assemblies 50 cal.

Fill in the history of M60, including Vietnam War information.
M60 in Vietnam, 1966.
In the 1980s, was replaced in part by the M249 Squad automatic weapons in the infantry platoon. The M60 remained in the vehicle-mounted and paper purpose general due to their greater power and range compared to the 5.56 mm M249. In the Marine Corps service, concerns about the reliability of the M60, the weight of system, and has a great round of M60s many in the service led to the adoption of the M60E3 to replace most original M60s Infantry units.
One 19th Group Special Forces soldier is an M60 machine gun on a HMMWV in Afghanistan in March 2004. AT4 anti-tank launcher can be seen in the foreground.
From Battalions Ranger, U.S. Army began to adopt and amend the M240 variants to replace their remaining M60s in early 1990. In comparison, the M240 is several pounds heavier than the M60, and has a longer barrel and in general, but more reliable in use and testing. [Citation needed] However, the M60 uses a much simpler gas system that is, when care is taken to re-mount, easy to clean. This advantage is obviated by the fact that in practice, the gas pipe is lockwire connected closed to prevent the dismantling gun itself due to vibration during hard use.

The M60 is still used by U.S. Navy SEALs and as a weapon in the U.S. door Army helicopters in the 21st century, and as the main gun of 7.62 mm machine by some U.S. special operations forces in the 1990s. From 2005 is used by the Coast Guard, Navy and a number of reserve forces, but is being abandoned in favor of the M240 7.62 mm medium machine gun. The use as a weapon Army helicopter door soon be declining, as an improved version of M240 has been adopted for this role.
Design
The neutrality of this section discussed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (July 2009)
The M60 is a gas drive, air cooled, belt fed, automatic machine gun that fires from the open position and bolt is chambered for the 7.62 cartridge mm NATO. Ammunition is usually fed into the gun in a bag that contains all of the year 100 a breakup, split metal link belt.
A Airwoman of the Royal Air Force UK is an M60 during a demonstration of Combined Joint Task Force Exercise (CJTFEX) in 2004
The design is based on many common concepts in the manufacture of firearms of the period, as the construction of stamped steel feeding system (a mechanism to change to food MG42 strap with a ratchet individual), quick replacement barrel, a pistol grip and stock, and a semi-bull pup design similar to the FG42 (large part of the action takes stock of the weapon). The M60 is an operating system running a rotating bolt rotating rod was inspired by the FG42, which was based on the much earlier Lewis gun. The M60 gas operation is unique, and based on the technical advances of the time, mostly White "gas expansion and cut" principle is also exploited by the M14 rifle. The M60 system was simpler gas to gas systems and easier to clean.
The line layout line allowed the operating rod and buffer to run directly back to the stock and reduce the overall length of the weapon.
As with all such weapons, can be fired from the shoulder, hip, or arm position. However, to achieve maximum effective distance, it is recommended that a bipod position, stabilized or a tripod mounted position used and fired bursts of 35 rounds. The gun is heavy and difficult to aim when shooting without support, although the weight helps reduce recoil Felt. The handle also allowed large weapon to be conveniently carried out at the hip. The weapons may be removed by a round of ammunition as a tool. However, this is extremely disappointing, because doing so may damage this round and increase the possibility of a misfire.
The M60 is often used with its own bipod integrated or the M122 tripod. The M60 is considered effective up to 1100 meters when firing at a target area and mounted on a tripod, you can have up to 800 meters when firing against an area target with integral bipod; up to 600 meters when firing at a target point, and up to 200 meters when firing at a target moving point. U.S. Marines maintained Corps doctrine that the M60 and other weapons of its class are capable of suppressing fire on area targets at 1,500 meters if the gunner is sufficiently skilled.
Originally an experimental M91 tripod was developed for the M60, but an update on the M2 tripod design was selected on the same became the M122. The M122 would itself be replaced in the 2000s by a new bike in time for the M60 which is also used with it.
Ammunition

810th Military Police Company, served M60 gun 7.62 mm machine atop an M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) during Operation Desert Shield.
The family M60 weapons are capable of firing rounds of NATO standard proper gauge. The most common in the U.S. use perforators are M61, M62 Tracer, and M80 Ball. By the end of training, Dummy M82 and M63 blanks are used. The new tungsten core M993 armor-piercing rounds can also be fired by the M60 as well, but not entered in the inventory until after the M60 was withdrawn from active service units.
When firing blanks, adapter M13 or M13A1 blank firing (BFA) is required to produce enough gas pressure to cycle weapons with blanks. All ammunition should be fixed in a standard NATO M13 disintegrating metallic belt joint liaison to feed the gun.
The mixture of anti-standard M60 ammunition consists of four ball (M80) cartridges and an indicator (M62) on the belts 100 rounds. The relationship from four to one theoretical precision allows the gunner to "walk" in the enemy's fire. tracer bullets do not fly well in the same trajectory that the ball and gun sights firearticularly be used for precise distances exceeding 800 meters, where 7.62x51mm NATO tracer rounds usually burned and are no longer visible. This is a problem for all weapons in this caliber with this round of the marker.

When tested in the field, the M60 was quite effective, but in the jungles of Southeast Asia where it was used before, the initial versions are several potential problems when used on the floor. A common complaint was the weight of the weapon, but M60 was one of the lighter 7.62 mm machine guns at the time.
For units in Vietnam, the most common complaint was that the M60 was relatively unreliable and prone to interference and malfunction, especially when it was dirty. Fine sand and dust in the mechanism of the M60 could bring to an end. This was an important factor in the Force Israeli Defense refused to approve the M60. The gun was more difficult to clean and maintain than the M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) is replaced in the selection. Under normal conditions, often fire thousands of rounds without a serious jam, while field conditions tended to reduce reliability without proper maintenance.
The security was clumsy to operate and worked the way "wrong" for soldiers who were trained with the M16 rifle and M1911A1 pistolhat ie, it requires a movement thumb up on insurance to make the weapon ready to fire, rather than a downward movement as with the other weapons. In addition, you can install some of the mechanism fire control incorrectly, causing a runaway "gun" eaning it would keep firing until empty, even if the operator took the finger off the trigger. The gas system of the original model can be assembled incorrectly causing malfunction and can loosen and come apart without safety wire in place.
A striker Mate third class in the process of preventive maintenance and cleaning M60 machine on the USS Constellation (CV-64), December 2002
The M60 sometimes (depending on version) kicked tires shot out of the pods during the extraction cycle, resulting in failure to remove the empty case, causing a backlog that could take time to clean. The barrel latch mechanism (a rocker arm) could catch on equipment and accidentally striker fold, causing the barrel to drop the gun. The lever was replaced by a button mechanism that was less likely to be accidentally released, but many of the rocker arm closures are still weapons in the inventory, forty years after this problem was discovered.
The grip / trigger housing assembly is secured with a spring clip rather fragile leaf instead of captive pins used in other designs. The spring clip has been known to be prone to breakage and early trials in Aberdeen Proving Ground. tape and flanges have been in M60s in the field, placed there by their crews in case of spring break. The brown in the activation mechanism gained reputation of wear and malfunction could cause the gun to "run". A second sear notch was added at the end of the operating rod to reduce the chance of this happening.
Several critical areas of production M60s early as the recipient of the cover and feed tray, were made printing very thin sheet metal and tend to bend or break, more resistant parts were finally released in early 1970. The first M60s also driving guides spring and operating the bars that were too thin and gas pistons that were too close behind the piston head (part of an attempt to save weight) which leads to problems with the breakage. metallurgical problems also played a role, (accused by some of the low supply of contractors), but since 1970 a little more heavy part was designed and gradually put into the supply chain. High weapons have been sensitive to stretch round the receiver and elsewhere.
A team of M60 machine gun barrels changes before embarking on his final goal during the DEFENDER CHALLENGE '88 competition.
Another criticism with some versions of the M60 is that the barrel was loaded. The bipod was a fixture in the barrel and the gas chamber gas system, the latter was the result of the use of piston design with a fixed controller design. The advantage of the fixed slider was no adjustment was necessary, even though he risked the ability to compensate fouling of the gas system, leading to enough power to operate the action, including the lifting of the belt of ammunition. The non-adjustable sights are fixed on the barrel and the settings of "zeroing" the sights could only be made in the increase that require adjustments when the barrel is ideal for changedot combat situations.
There was no handle to hold the body by the changes. Asbestos glove to much of the Standard Edition to allow the crew to handle hot barrels during the change of barrel. Loss of glove was always a problem.
U.S. Marines in particular did not like the M60, and many Marine units held in their bars up to 196 768 officially and unofficially for much longer. M60E3 variant designed in the mid-1980s for the U.S. Marine Corps, the reduction design weight of 18.9 pounds (8.61 kg) unloaded and slightly improved reliability. The users complained about the speed, the barrel overheating, a common problem with the original M60. This problem was aggravated in the M60E3, which uses a light gun, which requires changing every 100 rounds instead of every 200. The M60E3 barrel using a cable plastic handle near the end of the chamber and could be changed safely without the use of heat-resistant gloves.
Special operations forces Navy U.S. continued to use and improve the M60E3 for years due to its portability and low weight for their size, which requires many changes, including a change in power system configuration and barrel. Necessary additional changes were the addition of lanes optical sights and other modern amenities.
The reliability problem with the machine gun M60 was even more evident when the gun was compared to the PK machine gun successfully and reliably used by the forces of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet states client.
Variants
A member of the 101st Airborne Division, armed with an M60 machine gun, participates in a field exercise in 1972.
The nomenclature M60 describes well the first approved version or, generically, the family of weapons derived from it.
Major Variations include the M60E1 (an improved version that did not enter production), the M60E2 (a version designed to be used from fixed mounts as a co-axial for armored vehicles or helicopter weapons systems), the M60E3 (A light version) and the M60E4 (another improved version, called the Mk 43 Mod 0 with the U.S. Navy.)
The M60C was adopted for use on fixed mounts on aircraft. It was characterized by the use of an electric solenoid to operate the trigger and a hydraulic system to load the weapon. The M60D differed from the base model through the use of blade jaws, a different sighting system, and without a forearm. It was typically used as a gun helicopter door or clip mounted weapon as in the Type 88 K1 tank.
There are many minor variations between each type, including those responsible for the firearm, and over time.

M60: The basic model, type classified in 1957.
M60E1: An improved version which did not come in production. The main difference was the handle fixed on the barrel and removing the gas cylinder and bipod barrel assembly.
M60E2: Used vehicles as a coaxial machine gun, electrically fired.
M60B: Used in helicopters in 1960 and 1970 unassembled.
M60C: Used in fixed mounts on aircraft in the years 1960 and 1970, triggered hydraulically, electrically charged.
M60D: Replaced the M60B, a version of the mounting bolt used especially in helicopter armament subsystem, but also some other functions.
M60E3: A slightly updated and adopted in the 1980s.

M60

The initial version was officially adopted by the U.S. Army in the late 1950s, although at this time, was destined exclusively for the infantry. It was known as the T161 before adoption (specifically T161E3), and was named to the T52 for testing competing in the early 1950. Both use a similar feed and were powered by gas, but the T161 was easier to produce and its internal workings than the best results. The model that won the contest was the T161E3.
The model was type classified in 1957, and went into production. It saw its first heavy use in the 1960s. The basic design has undergone some minor changes, and has been produced by different manufacturers.
M60E1
The M60E1 was the first important variant of the original M60. Not entered production a large scale, although many of its elements were included in later versions E3 and E4. Some of its features were also incorporated into the existing production M60. This is mainly changed the shape of a cylinder, the barrel and the bipod were connected in the first iteration. The M60 and M60E1 are two different versions. Reviews are varied on whether the M60E1 was officially adopted or not.

One of the most remarkable changes in the M60E1 is that the bipod attachment point was moved to the gas pipe, rather than the barrel (as in the afternoon M60E3). He did not, however, have a butt of the gun at Later, as inserted in the E3.
M60E2
M60E2 intended to be used co-axial. Consider the extension of gas pipe and no grip.
The M60E2 is used in armored combat vehicles, such as the M48A5, M60 Patton later versions and the Type 88 K1. It lacks many of the external components of the standard M60, including equipment and handles. The M60E2 was fired electrically, but there was a manual trigger as a backup, and a metal loop at the rear the load. The gas tube below the barrel was extended to the entire length of the weapon to vent the gas outside the vehicle. This version achieved a mean time between failures of 1669 during testing in the 1970s, more often the FN MAG, which was adopted in 1977 as a vehicle coax gun and designated the M240.
The M60E2 is used in the South Korean Type 88 K1 tank as coaxial gun, along with a M60D a mounting clip.
M60B
The M60B was a short version designed for launched from helicopters, with limited deployment conducted in 1960 and 1970. Not mounted, just held, and was replaced shortly by the mounting bolt M60D. The "model" B "differs significantly in most of those who had bipod and no rear appears a different population than the regular model. Yet had a pistol grip (as opposed to the things grips). The advantage of the pintle-mounted variants M60B was that there was broad and far less restricted field shooting.
M60C
The M60C Machine Gun.
The M60C is a variant of the M60 standard for aircraft assembly, as in helicopter armament subsystems. It lacks things like the bipod, butt of the gun and iron sights. The main difference between the M60 and the standard form "C" is the electronic control system and hydraulic rotation system used. It could be fired from the cockpit or passenger. This is an electronically controlled hydraulic engine cooling air, gas-operated, belt fed weapon system. We used the M2, M6, and M16 armament subsystem and was mounted in Sioux OH-13 OH-23 Raven, the Huey UH-1B, and formed fixed standard armament of the OV-10 Bronco. M60C production was the order of several hundred. It was also used in the XM19 gun pod.

M60D
The M60D on the M23 armament subsystem.
The M60D is a mounted version of the standard M60. Can be mounted on boats, vehicles and a clip from the gun mounted on the helicopter door. When used in airplanes, in contrast to the M60C is not controlled by pilotather, mounted on a door and is operated by a crew member. Like the rest of the family M60 is an air cooled, gas operated, belt-fed weapon. Unlike other models, however, usually has M60D spade grips and a show ring or similar type aircraft, as well as an ammunition feed system improved. A cloth bag is also placed on the gun to catch ejected casings and links from being absorbed by the rotor blades in the engine intake. The M60D was fitted on the UH-1B Huey (using the M23, XM29, M59, and the Sagami frames), the CH-47 Chinook (using the M24 and M41 mounts) on both doors and ramp locations, the ACH-47A " Guns-A-Go-Go " Chinook variant (using the XM32 XM33 and assemblies), and the UH-60 Black Hawk (according to mounting M144). The M60D is also used by the British in the Royal Air Force Chinook. In U.S. service, the M60D are being replaced mainly by the M240H.

M60E3

The M60E3 was sent around the year 1986 in a attempt to solve the problems with earlier versions of the M60 for infantry use. It is a lightweight, "improved" version designed to reduce cargo by the gunner. Unlike its predecessors, the M60E3 has updated several modern features. It has a bipod (attached to the receiver) to improve the stability, security Ambidextrous, universal sling attachments, a carrying handle on the barrel, and a simplified gas system. However, these features also caused almost as many problems for weapons as they fixed. There were different types of barrels used, but the light was not so sure barrel for sustained fire 200 rounds per minute as heavier types. However, some staff members claim to have witnessed the success of prolonged firing of the gun. The stellite superalloy barrel liner makes it possible but the excessive heat generated by this process can quickly make the weapon useless. There were two main barrels, barrel and other heavy typehe light for when you wanted ex lighter weight, and the second for situations that require more sustained fire.
M60E3.
The components of weight loss is also reduced the durability of the weapon, making it more prone to rapid wear and tear of parts as the original. Most infantry units in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have changed their general use M240 machine gun, which is more reliable (particularly when dirty) and appears to be well liked by his troops resistance, although it weighs 27.6 pounds (12.5 kg) compared with the standard M60 at 23.15 pounds (10.5 kg).
U.S. Air Force Security Forces received the M60E3 1988-1989. All M60E3s USAF withdrew from the general issue in 1990, because the assembly did not meet the requirements for vehicles Cadillac Gage Ranger due to overheating problems. The M60E3 was left in the Air Force as a weapon of an emergency item. Still in service in the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, as a more reliable weapon has not even been considered for reissue.
M60E4 and Mk 43 Mod 0 / 1
This gun is the latest generation of the M60 and incorporates several improvements over other versions. Externally, a bit like the M60E3, but it has other internal changes and improvements. It has a front grip is different and is also a weapon more reliable than the M60s others. The main attraction is 43 M60E4/Mk belt and is available in a variety of configurations. Also is possible to convert some older models to this standard. The M60E4 and Mk 43 was developed mainly in the 1990s. First, the E4, and soon after the 43hese Mc Mc early 43s there were some differences in the E4 (like a duckbill flash suppressor), although in the 2000s these distinctions seem to have ended.
A montage Mk 43 Mod 0 (M60E4) (later model) is manned by a Seabee from NMCB-15 (Naval Mobile Construction Battalion), against a convoy in Iraq in May 2003.
This version also has another name under Navy Mk 43 Mod 0. The Mk 43 Mod 0 was developed for the seals of the U.S. Navy to replace their stocks M60E3 machine gun barrels fitted with shorter "assault." These weapons are identical to standard M60E4s, with the exception of the length of the canyon, and can be used as either suppressing fire or direct fire weapons, at least in terms of theory and training. The Mk 43 Mod 1 adds significantly rail connection points to the receiver of the gun deck and forearm.
The M60E4 and Mk 43 versions are quite similar, although they are only part of the same family. Although might be fair to say that the Mk 43s are a type of M60E4, there are technical differences between any given model M60E4. The first Mk 43s have some differences on M60E4 the same time, the most obvious is the duckbill flash suppressor and different forearm. Current Mk 43s do not have these differences, however, and the U.S. states on your page Artillery web FAQs, from 2005, the M60E4 and MK43 are the same weapon system. "
The M60E4 was pitted against the (then called) M240E4 Trials in the Army during the 1990s to the new machine gun for infantry medium, in a contest to replace the M60s decades. The M240E4 won and was classified as the M240B. This led to 1,000 existing M240s being sent to Fabrique Nationale of a review and a special kit that modified for use in the ground (as a action, a railroad, etc..) Then let contracts in late 1990 for models M240B completely new. However, a new feature was added a hydraulic damping system to reduce felt recoilimilar to the M60as incorporated. While the M240B was more reliable in testing, it was a few pounds heavier than the M60E4.
The M60E4 is not just another version, but an update of the entire series, which is also available in many previous configurations, such as a coaxial weapon. Also offered kits to convert older models to the rule E4.
M60E4 (light machine gun):
Short barrel: Weight: 22.5 lbs (10.2 kg), length: 37.7 in (95.8 cm)
long barrel: Weight: 23.1 lbs (10.5 kg), length: 42.4 in (108 cm)
Assault barrel: Weight: 21.3 lbs (9.66 kg), length: 37.0 in (94.0 cm)

Civilian versions
Several semi-automatic versions for the civilian market have occurred in the United States. The interior must be extensively modified to make it essentially impossible to convert them into fully automatic weapons. If the design is approved by the U.S. Bureau Alcohol, Snuff, Firearms and Explosives (BATF), are treated as semi-automatic belt fed rifles, however, each state and local regulations remain valid.
U.S. The company is the manufacturer of the current artillery authorized by Saco to produce mil-spec M60s and M60 parts. However, the U.S. artillery put his civilian semi-auto sales on hold until 2006 due to its production capacity is necessary for government orders. The company had a $ 8000 for a new semi-automatic M60.
The Desert of the company is a manufacturer of current devices M60s and M60 parts. The company charges between $ 13,000 - $ 14,000 for a new M60 semi-automatic, depending on the model.
Several brands of previous versions are totally automatic in the market as well, but there are many requirements laws that must be met before you buy, and cost more than U.S. $ 20,00030,000. This is largely due to the restriction in the production of firearms fully automatic in the U.S. for the general civilian market since 1986. The combination of the ban on production and imports has led many to think is illegal to have a gun, when in reality, it is legal to possess and use a fully automatic machine gun M60 in the U.S. (unless prohibited by other state or local laws).
