The manual recommends 5-10 round bursts, not 5-10 meter belts.

Gotta love that sh!t, and that all too familiar red glow to those of us who've been there....

Yep, but it looks even better at night. There's a sure sign that you are about due for a barrel change.

How so CC? Just having some fun. Hell for all we know hordes of raving mad Chinese may return.

In that case I would prefer a Vickers Machine Gun. Capable of firing 7 days non stop.

We had an idiot melt the barrel on his M-60D. It bent a few mm.

Ive had the wonderful blessing of having to change out M-60 barrels in combat.... Theres a reason why we carried spare barrels....

We never had a problem with it in combat. We just pulled them in the aircraft and used the gloves and swapped out the barrels. It is just a click of a switch.

Then again though we hardly ever had to do so because well we used the whole burst method that you are supposed to.....

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe, burst method... When we would pull a left or right drop, the 60's go full auto, as well as everybody else...

Everyone knows how long a barrel on full auto will last???

Not long enough...

 

[Matt308]

That would certainly keep the baddies heads down.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yup, withdrawl under HEAVY fire suppression...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

We never really had the need to fire like that though unless we were landing into an LZ and then it would be put out as much lead as possible until the infantry was out and into some kind of protective posture.
