M60

M60 is a lootable machine gun found in the Military Base.

Overview The M60 is an American general purpose machine gun (GPMG). It was introduced in 1957 and has served with every branch of the U.S. military. It borrowed many elements from the German MG42 and the FG42, borrowing the FG42's operation and the MG42's feed system. The M60 is chambered in the 7.62×51mm NATO or the militarized .308 Winchester cartridge, a round typically used in larger rifles.

During the Vietnam era, it quickly became dubbed as "The Pig" by American troops due to its bulky size and tendency to attract mud. It was also among the first machine guns mounted on helicopters, making the first helicopter gunships. However, by the late 1970s, the M60 was beginning to show its age, and the U.S military looked to update their GPMG arsenal. Most M60s in an infantry role were replaced by the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, vehicle-mounted M60s were mostly replaced by the M240B, the US military designation of the Belgian FN MAG.

Remaining M60s were modernized and upgraded into the M60E4 and the M60E6 variants, which continue to see service by the U.S Navy Seals and U.S Coast Guard. To this day, the M60 serves with many other nations, including the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Malaysia

In-game
The M60 is a weapon that can be found in the storeroom in the back of the Military Base. Only one will spawn in the room at any one time.

The weapon deals 30 damage and 60 on headshots.

The weapon has an ammo capacity of 300 rounds, with 100 rounds already in the player's magazine and 200 more in reserve, with a reload time of approximately 5.8 seconds. The gun uses Rifle(?) ammo.

Dying will remove this weapon from the player's inventory. Players will need to loot it again to be able to use it again. Strategies The M60 is a fantastic choice when it comes to crowd control. Dealing the same damage a K1911 does in a fully automatic package, the M60 will make short work of hordes of enemies and even bosses. The low firerate helps players to conserve the ammunition, and the generous magazine size means reloads are few and far between. However, when players do need to reload, they will spend around 5.8 seconds unable to fight back, so players will need to make sure that they're in a safe position to reload the weapon.

Despite having lower spread than most other weapons, the recoil of the M60 keeps it from serving as a long-ranged weapon. Its obstructive iron sight is also a detriment in acquiring and tracking distant targets. The high damage per hit and ammunition count means this weapon is best used to hip-fire nearby hordes of enemies. Known Bugs
