The M60, known commonly by its users as "The Pig", was developed at the same time as the M14 though their developments were not worked on under any combined efforts. The M60 was designed from 1952 until 1957 in an effort for the United States to have a universal machine gun similar in application to the MG42's they faced in WWII. The M60 was adopted in 1957 and quickly replaced all of the M1919 pattern machine guns in Infantry use. Its design
...
was heavily inspired by the German FG42 and MG42 machine guns, and the first prototype was actually a modified FG42 re-chambered into 7.62x51mmNATO with an MG42's feeding mechanism on the side.
The M60 served the United States Military from 1959 through the Vietnam War and the Gulf War until the US Army phased it out for the M249 in the early 1990's for the M249 and the US Marine Corps phased it out in the mid-2000's for the M240.M60 For Sale
