It will be interesting to see if they do bring back the M60 as a commonly used crew served weapon.

Two years ago I heard the testing of the new barrel for the M60 while in the field. As many of you know the M60 has a very distinct sound to it that is unmistakable.

Whoever was testing it was going cyclic on the weapon for several minutes. It was very impressive.

I guess the real question will be is if that type of weapon is still applicable in a COIN environment?
