m-60

Heavy automatic machine gun that the US military used. It initially had numerous problems with overheating barrels. The gun had to be almost entirely disassembled to switch out barrels. The gun was then refined to include an integrated bipod and heavier barrel that resisted overheating. M60 has since been replaced with the smaller .223 fully automatic SAW (Squad Automatic Rifle)which can be both magazine or belt-fed.

Hoss laid down lots of cover fire from his M-60 for the squad while the squad repositioned itself.
