M60E6 GPMG with 22.0-inch Barrel

[Christopher Wang]

Here are a pair of photos of the M60E6 GPMG with what appears to be the standard 22.0-inch long barrel. Most photos I have seen of the M60E6 show them using the shorter assault barrels.

That looks like the sort of gun Arnold Schwartzneger or Sylvester Stallone would've used in one of their 1980s action films.

I have a sweet spot for the M60. My sub got assigned two of them after 9-11, when Big Navy realized that all we had onboard was a bunch of M16s and 12ga... There's something magical about the rate of fire of the 60. It just goes chopchopchop and shakes you around a bit but you can stay right on the sights from the shoulder.

Ah, and it was rebuilt on an older M60 receiver. That's how it was transferrable (ie, made before 1986)!

Here is another photo of a modernized M60 GPMG with the 22.0-inch long barrel. This is a semi-automatic M60 assembled by Desert Ordnance as displayed on BLACK MARKET ARMORY. I am not sure if this is supposed to represent the M60E4 or M60E6.
