The M60 is just impressive, but also on the site is a video of the insurgent getting hit with a 40mm grenade......YES it's fake, but might be a bit graphic for some.....

They must have realy improved the M-60, that is a great sequence to fire that many rounds non stop with out over heating or jamming.

Supposedly the latest version of the M-60 is more reliable than the old versions. It is much lighter than the M240 which is replacing it.

Is the grenade video still on there? All I saw was the (2.5 mile targeting) & the (New M60 field test). videos

I received several lectures about how fake that 40mm grenade video was, so I took it down. It just wasn't worth the hassle.

That's good, I thought I was going a little crazy when I couldn't find it.

I wasn't sure if the 2.5 mile targeting and the grenade vids were one in the same. I received the targeting vid in an e-mail and was under the impression that it was real.

Neat stuff. This may not be news for most, but a program called "Future Weapons" on one of Discovery channels is pretty good. Having Comcast's version of Deeoovo Teeveeoo, I set it to record new epsiodes only. There is another show called "Weaponology" that I have not recorded yet.

The Swiss built a computerized Howitzer that can open a can of Coke from twenty three miles! Ouch!

This Bud's for you ....
