M60 and its successor the M240 have always used 7.62.

Maybe you were always wrong, and when you found out that you're wrong,you don't want to blame the misconception on yourself, so you decided to blame it on an external boogeyman, such as the "Berenstain" conspiracy.

Just like how people in /x/ thinks there are people that are out to make your day bad in every small and subtle ways possible ("observers"?), even if everyone's day has some bumps in the corners.

Heck, if there is something to believe, I always believed that there was a force always helping me in small and subtle ways; it's a matter of "half empty" and "half full."

Stop externalizing your problems OP.

>>28097209
M60 is quality engineering and fires 7.62.

E4 is pretty based.

The trigger group could fall out
The bipod was attached to the barrel and not the frame
The barrel required an asbestos glove to remove

Proof on trigger group and that apparently you can only swap the barrel with an asbestos glove with an M60E4 or later.

>>28098864
Not on the more modern versions especially not the E6 which is a pretty slick machine gun.

>>28098758
I feel lazy, but a cursory search will show that the earlier models of M60 didn't have a carrying handle attached to the barrel. This meant that you really did need some sort of protection to touch the hot barrel. As for the trigger group falling off, yes, that was a problem too. It had a very poor way to attach it. Just some sort of stupid metal latch that often fell off, followed by the trigger group.

>>28098880
What changes did they make to the receiver itself?

>>28098864
The Vietnam era ones had that among other issues mentioned. Some special forces types liked the RPD better, which I guess is where his autistic argument comes from.

They're not very comparable. M60 is a GPMG not an LMG. The modernization of the M60 has fixed all it's main problems but that's like comparing a Vietnam era original AK47 to a modern AR15.

>>28098864
funnily enough, RPD has parts life issues of it's own. I think the receiver is prone to cracking at a lower round count then RPKs

>>28098888
I did specify on later models, the early models had a lot of flaws but thats something common on a lot of the US Vietnam War era infantry weapons. The modern versions are actually pretty high quality for design especially with the amount of changes and improvements on the E6, it even got adopted by the Danes over the HK and FN LMGs that it was up against.

Not him, but his point is that the PKP Pecheneg forgoes quick change barrels for a single heavier barrel with cooling ribs, and is considered a respectable weapon.

>>28097209
why isnt the 240B a bullpup, or more importantly the SAW? all you gotta do is move the allready modular FCG forward and have it catch on a more forward part of the piston rod. It would take an engineer minutes to do the redisgn. A good machinist could probably rig it up to work all in his own in a few hours.

A prototype that never reached full production and therefore basically doesn't exist.

>>28098935
My bad. I was still thinking in line with >>28097302
You are right though; the later models of the M60 are pretty based.

>>28098993
Think about it for a bit. Where is that ammo box for the ammo belt going to go? Things are going to get too cramped, too fast, even if you had the thing attached to the bottom. with the linked rounds going up and into the feed tray. Unlike an assault rifle, the benefits are most likely outweighed by drawbacks and problems.

You're thinking of the Stoner 63A

this thread made me realize that there's remarkable similarities in the service histories of both the RPD and M60.
>both are fine weapons but not without their flaws.
both were designed and adopted somewhat hastily out of a desire for a modern MG in the wake of WW2.
later in their service lives they both ran into parts life issues and various other gremlins.
in the end, they were most valuable as stepping stones to more mature designs

The only references to the E4 i found are about how its an overhaul from the E3/E2 and classic M60.

I don't get why they keep polishing a turd. The M240/MAG and PKM/PKP are both superior platforms to start from. So is KAC's simplified Stoner63

Hell, even the Colt CMG3 would be a better place to start than the M60.

>The fundamentals of the M60 are what suck. I honestly couldn’t tell you why the goddamn things want to beat themselves to death. All I know is that they’re maintenance nightmares in that regard, and that without significant changes to the basic parts configuration, the most you’re going to accomplish is minimizing the wear. There is something fundamentally fucked up with the M60 design, or those parts wouldn’t be peening themselves to death in routine use–And I’ve seen that same pattern of wear in every M60 variation I’ve ever examined, from the museum examples that served in Vietnam, to the latest Marine E4 models.

>And I’ve seen that same pattern of wear in every M60 variation I’ve ever examined, from... to the latest Marine E4 models.

>>28099122
So if it's not adopted by many nations it's not a respectable weapon?

>>28097209

The M60 is a medium machine gun or GPMG. It uses .30 caliber rifle rounds to give it extra punch against cover. 5.56 is only used in LMGs

>>28098912
>that's like comparing a Vietnam era original AK47 to a modern AR15
Ancient AK47s had structural problems? I thought they were built like tanks.

>>28099184
The USMC only used up to the E3 and then they swapped to the M240 so clearly this guy is just basing his argument off of looks.

>>28099237
Yeah but the navy still uses the E4 right?

>>28099553
The Seals are the only ones.

i know they're not the same guns, what i meant was since the m240 is only 7.62 the m249 is the 5.56 alternative (although it was originally 7.62 as well, and FN makes both of them)
