Humped the M60 for two years, enough to appreciate it's strengths and weaknesses. Easy enough to carry, gas system a little fussy, not suitable for sustained fire role, feed cover redesign on the Mk3 fixed a flaw. Final shoot of them before destruction managed to get the barrel red then white hot, I'd swear you could see the bullet go down the barrel.
Got to put a few belts downrange with an MG3 - now there is a nice gun, particularly at 1100rpm.
Preferred the FN MAG (aka MAG58, M240, L7A1) once it got the handguard under the gas system. Complete prick of a thing for dismounted use before then, but so reliable and definitely superior to the M60.
Never took to the FN MINIMI (aka M249) and only qualified on it just before I left. Appeared to be somewhat over engineered, and overweight, but capable and dependable in service.
Would like to handle and use a Maximi, see how it stacks up against the older versions.
