M60 General-Purpose Machine Gun Light enough to be carried on patrol and deadly in a firefight, the M60 general-purpose machine gun proved its mettle in countless combat situations. The M60 fired up to 550 high-velocity bullets from a gas-powered, belt-fed system at a range of over 1,900 yards. The M60 could be fired from a bipod, a tripod, or from the hip. Perhaps its greatest shortcoming was the weight of its cartridge belts, which limited the amount of ammunition that could be carried into the field.
