M60

The M60 is a family of American General Purpose Machine Guns firing 7.62x51mm NATO cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links. There are several types of live ammunition approved for use in the M60, including ball, tracer, and armor-piercing rounds. Introduced in 1957, it has served with every branch of the U.S military and still serves with other armed forces. Its manufacture and continued upgrade for military and commercial purchase continues into the 21st century though it has been replaced or supplemented in most roles by other designs, notably the M240 in U.S service. The current M60 being use by the U.S Military is the -E4 variant, a more modernized version of the -E3 version, as it features many RIS rails on the weapon for mounting many attachments. The -E4 is also shorter than it's predecessor.

= In Game = The M60 appears in Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield: Bad Company and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for the Support class.

In singleplayer, it can always be seen in the hands of Sweetwater and the player can find it normally or with a 4x scope near the lighthouse of the mission Sangre Del Toro.

In multiplayer, in order to unlock it, the player must get 25000 points using the Medic Kit. It now has a belt length of 100 rounds, unlike the one in Battlefield: Bad Company. It slows the player down due to its weight, but this is compensated by low recoil, high power, and great accuracy. Burst-firing or single shots are recommended at range. Using a Red Dot Sight or 4X Scope is recommended as the iron sights are fairly obtrusive.
