Worst machinegun of the last 60 years. Thing operates like someone crossed a Chautchaut with an MG-34 prototype, drilled a few holes in it, and machined the action out of pot metal. Jams like mad after more than about 250 rounds, if it doesn't run away on you first, and the A3 model can only fire 150-200 rounds without the barrel trying to melt off because it's so thin. To change the barrel, you have to actually -touch- it, which is a great way to get 3rd-degree burns, and the sights have to be re-adjusted after each change, because all the sighting gear is on the barrel instead of the reciever. It shakes itself to death faster than a Corvair, and if you try and load it with the bolt any less than all the way back, it slam-fires and blows the operating rod into the action; takes a vise, an angle-grinder, and a winch to get the works out after a "blow forward" like this.
There's a reason the US and Phillipines are the only places that use this thing, while the rest of the western world uses the Mag-58 or a derivative. The M-60 is junk!
