M60 Light Machine Gun Mini Documentary

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves discusses the history of the M60 light machine gun (LMG) and some of its little-known advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, James reviews reports from the U.S. Army that discuss the effectiveness, range, accuracy, and reliability of the M60. We also look at tests pitting the M60 against its bitter rivals from FN, including the M249 SAW and the M240 or MAG58. While the M60 has been mostly replaced, was this the best idea?
