does anyone know why these types of guns are labelled as "light" when they're clearly not and there are lighter weapons such as the MP40 or the sten ?
based on both mg42 and the little known fg42, an assault rifle issued to german paratroops way back when... it fired the full sized 792 german service round.
Woulda been laying em M-60 bullets down range Geeking hard off em fatty blunts at my sorry enemies Concluding their last days if i was in Nam.... Luckly 4 me and them I wasnt
I carried this weapon for 3.5 years in the army. It weighs more than 23 lbs. fully loaded. And he was wrong about the rounds per minute. It's 600, not 750. In comparison, the m249 SAW fires 800 rpm, and uses the 5.56
That is the BIG debate, what is better 7.62 or 5.56, the 5.56 does nice damage because of the tumble, but 7.62 has that knock down effect. They are both better then the other in different ways. The soldiers tend to complain about the 5.56 because you can shoot someone and they might still keep coming for a min, compared to the 7.62 slamming them off thier feet.
honestly a 5.56 round would of been better in a jungle war. Mainly because you can lay down more fire and have more amo on you to keep the gooks in their bush.
@MrSean1997 its a medium machine gun. or general purpose machine gun. the SAW is a light machine gun because of the intermediate round it fires. the M2 is a heavy machine gun cuz of the .50 cal it fires.
@Wolfblade369 : Ah-h-h, hell---I apologize! You just watch---once YOU finally get OLD, you'll be just as bitchy, pissy, an' moaney as I am, if not worse? LOL!
i'd like to ask about M60 ... that tin(can)streight under feeding ammo belt (on left side) which we can see on some nam pics ... was it custom added "battle field upgrade" or were all MGs equpped with them? thanks
@petrwarry72 :Actually, both. The newer "improved"-model did indeed have such---and, there was even a kit to "convert" the older-ones over, if I remember correctly?(goes without saying, anymore!) But I do remember that ironically, for me, the "beenie-weenie-conversion" worked better. It seemed to NEED that extra-"flop"?
This is one time that what sounds like a joke is actually true---it really is/was just that: A damned-bean can...!
@Wolfblade369 : Regardless of who/what he sounds like, he tells you more in that last-minute than your "vid-game heroes" could ever THINK of retaining, this many years' later.
Hell, even I got a "refresher-course", and I slung the "pig" for a good-bit in my-day...
They got the rapid barrel change from the german mg42 you cod pices of shit i play cob but i know more than the guys at my cabelas i identified every gun in the store just by sight!!!
@Vlaxerman343 I never had that problem with the weapon I carried and I put a lot of rounds down range with it in various weather and dirty conditions.
@Vlaxerman343 Actually if there was a round in the chamber because of a jam it could cook off and fire several minutes later. I saw one fire off by itself 15 minutes after being used on a live fire exercise. The barrel was facing into the ground when it went off. No one was hurt, just startled.
@Berserkr01 550 is the right RPM for this gun. these old gun videos often has alot of false imformation, i ones saw a video stating the stg44 had a RPM of 800...
@iiiasaiii i beat you pal, in my country you will surely see a GALIL every day, a m16 a day by half, a m60 every 3 weeks, a negev lmg 4 times per month, and a TAR 21 once in a year.
@Chucoishighoncoke Your an idiot, a LMG is a man held machine gun used to support squad memebers, the weight has NOTHING to do with the titlesLMG, MMG, and HMG
@reliablethreat23 : Does he REALLY-think all y' had to do was set-up in ONE-position, and "point-n'-pull" all day long???LMAO!
I remember an unwritten "rule" that went somethin' like: "If your shooting-posture is comfy, and you've got the perfect target---then you are NOT using your cover to full-effectiveness, you will be DEAD in a second from now. Hit, run, cover---repeat as needed!"
You didn't just run with the pig---you "RAN, ducked, and covered, muthafucker!"
@ElIis0 Machine gun is just a collective term. During the Vietnam war the M60 was an LMG, but in today's standards it's a Medium Machine gun/General Purpose Machine Gun.
@Askarion It was based off of the MG42. Seeing as how the MG42 would end up just overheating it's barrel and take seven seconds to reload, that's plenty of time for an M60 gunner to pop out of cover, set up his tripod and just blast him away.
@Danny7293 not bad for a redneck huh? most of the guys in special forces and fighting on the streets protecting our freedoms are redneck good ole boys
@Hound419 It's firing a 7.62 round, if you want effective suppressing fire you need a heavy tripod. Anything much lighter would just slide on the ground from the recoil.
15 pounds seems heavy for the bipod, that's like 2/3 the weight of the gun. I think I would of found something lighter for it built out of aluminum, unless you actually need all that weight up front to hold things down
kids have an imagtaition and when they play a shooting game guns are related to shoting games and the most populer game shotting now is...............Mw2 so of course it will come into there head and that is why the games are 18 or 16 so that one kid wont get the wrong idea about war is that u cant respawn BOOOM!!!!!

I carried the M60 as the FNG as a Combat Engineer. It was a reliable weapon and easy to field strip and clean.
Since it was heavier ammo than the M16, it was a good friend to have along. it packed a punch.
The last time I carried it I was sitting in the back of a deuce and half in a snow storm freezing in Germany.
