Stop drop and roll my friend...dont they have a fire extenguisher on the back there in the bmp? I hope he wasnt seriously injured...

Another note...I see all these protests and riots and "demonstrations" every day in the middle east. Dont these people have jobs? Dont they have something else better to do? Dont they have to go to school? Dont they have better things to do then incite violence? Is it that boring there?

Everyday thousands of people get together to get tear gassed by Israeli's, I have yet to see one day with no pictures of an Israeli tear gassing Palestinians. I also really wonder about those Iraqi's....sitting around throwing molotov cocktails at British forces isnt exactly getting you a job. Jobs dont come and land at your feet, you normally have to look for them, and even when it is rough you dont see me throwing petrol bombs at my local grocery store cause they arnt hiring me.

Makes me wonder were these peoples priorities are...

The beauty with the HK system is that the Side Loading mechanism allows a greater length of ordinance (including Gas, smoke, etc. ) to be used with it, unlike the M203 that limits cartridge length to the length of the forward slide ...

British,American,Russian okay, but......German. I don't think most serbs are to happy to have germans walking around on their soil. (no offence or anything but when my grandpa heard they were sending german soldiers to kosovo, he almost had a stroke with anger) I'm not to pleased about it either when germans almost killed 1.5 million serbs during ww2. It would be kindda like sending germans to isreal....holy ****! :)
Thank god there finally protecting the last remaining pieces of orthodox christianity in kosovo. Thanks for that! woot :D

BTW can anyone ID this gun??? I am serious? I know that surrounding might be more interesting but duy you know what is it? It seens to lack butstock.

they don't normally carry them, they just have regular hand guns. But its the same as seeing pics of British cops carrying G36Ks or US cops with M4s when there is a heightened state of alert and a possible terrorist attack around a particular target. Usally cops don't carry Aks, that I know of, i heard they do carry shot guns in thier turnk and Glybert simular to an Uzi.

[thatguy96]

The pictured weapon could well be E4 standard. Not to mention US Ordnance (who is the only manfacturerer currently producing M60s that I know of...at least in the US) offers E4s with the new handguard/vertical foregrip with full length barrels too, not just in the 'assault' configuration. The M240B/G will eventually replace all iterations of the M60/A2 (or is that E2)/E3/E4 in all services (at least that's what they've been claiming for a while now). However, for the most part it seems that the M60 soldiers on in Special Force applications (where it will be most likely replaced with the Mk 48 Mod 0 eventually), and in vehicular or static defense applications (where it will most likely be replaced by the M240B, D or possibly E1/E3).

Funny how all these house wifes like walking around with rifles and looking hard. They aren't going to do anything other than blow themselves up but they sure do look tough huh...

Reminds me of that movie "Last Action Hero" with Governor Arnold. The part it reminds me of is the mafia funeral on the roof of the hotel and everyone including the grandma in the wheelchair pulls out automatic wepaons and just start blasting away and Arnold. Pretty funny stuff.

[haze99]

The96guy, you are mostly correct. This is an M-60!
The caption I have seen with this photo states, a SF soldier from the 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne) which is a Army National Guard unit. So, I could see them still deploying with the M-60.
As for your reply, Yes, the US Army/US Air Force have adopted the M-240B. (based off the Belguim FN MAG or UK L-7A2) Most front line Army units have received them. As have some USAF Secuirty Police Squadrons. (Although, some M-60's are still in use, until there is a sufficent amount of M-240B's)
The USMC/USN went to the M-60E3 back in the early 1980's. (this weapon was used in Rambo II & Predator) Since I do not have a photo to show you. (the USA/USAF didn't adopt this model but kept the M-60) The USMC turned in its M-60E3's and went to the M-240G, which appears to not have the upper/lower handguards. (As found on the M-240B.)
The US Navy and US Coast Guard still use the M-60. But, the US Navy turned in its M-60E3's for M-60E4's. Which PT posted an image of this.

The M-60E1 was experimental, only a couple models were made. And now they sit in museums. (an attempt to "lighten" the M-60)
M-60E2 was a Co-axial version for use in the turrets of MBT's and IFV's. It was not adopted, the M-240C was selected instead.

The Mk-48 Model 0, is the US Navy desigantion for the M-60E4.

[George W. Bush]

whats that thing under the barrel, it look like another barrel. Is that the unburnt gas exaust?

Gas tube. It's a gas-operated weapon so it uses a gas-operated rod to cycle the bolt.

[thatguy96]

The USMC/USN went to the M-60E3 back in the early 1980's. (this weapon was used in Rambo II & Predator) Since I do not have a photo to show you.
The E3 was a further attempt on the E2 (which the USMC had developed themselves, but which the Army rejected), which was in turn a further development of the E1...all lightening experiments. The E3 was found to be structurally weak and much more unreliable than previous M60s, and therefore didn't last long. On an interesting note, the USMC's in house LMG and SAW projects are quite interesting, but were almost always rejected when offered to the Army. Both the M60E2 and the XM106 being good examples of this.


The USMC turned in its M-60E3's and went to the M-240G, which appears to not have the upper/lower handguards.
This is true. Unlike the Army's M240B, the USMC decided to go for less wieght and field the M240G which is very similar to incarnations of the MAG-58 fielded by many European nations.


M-60E2 was a Co-axial version for use in the turrets of MBT's and IFV's.
As far as I know there was never an M60 designed for co-ax mounting, which is why the US Army decided it was going to replace its aging M73s and M219s with the M240E1...and was then aquainted with the weapon system, deciding then to make a move to replace the M60 with it.


The Mk-48 Model 0, is the US Navy desigantion for the M-60E4.
The USN designation for the M60E4 is Mk 43 Mod 0. The FN Mk 48 Mod 0 LLMG (Lightweight Light Machine Gun) is essentially a scaled up FN Mk 46 Mod 0 SPW (Special Purpose Weapon) chambered for 7.62x51mm. There are currently trials underway to determine if it is viable for the USNs SF requirement (looking to replace their assualt barreled M60E4s).

[angry cow]

Screw the bipod, they should just add an under-barrel grenade launcher, HK69 or whatever. Then it would be just plain sexy. p-)

[FallenAngel]

While the upscaled M249 seems like the logical step to go...I wouldn't put it past anyone in the DoD of purchasing this baby.

MG43 by H&K.
http://hkpro.com/MG43_1.jpg

I only say this because H&K seems to be getting ever closer to the US Military. THe XM8 (basically a G36 in new furniture) is a contender for the next US standard issue rifle. The AG36 is a better grenade launcher than the current M203 types and they even did an in-house upgrade of the tried and true M4. The MG43 is currently chambered for 5.56 NATO, but as with the M249, could be up-scaled to 7.62 NATO. I think I saw some pics of the MG43 with German troops a while ago. Probably just a trial though.

Oh...and just thought you'd all like this shot. MG43 after going through 102,000 rounds at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona.

The HK MG-43 is only available in 5.56x45mm to my knowledge, and part of the LLMG requirement is that it be in 7.62x51mm. Unless HK scales up their weapon to compete, its pretty much accepted that the LLMG was pretty much just something that the DoD essentially asked FN to work on.

British,American,Russian okay, but......German. I don't think most serbs are to happy to have germans walking around on their soil. (no offence or anything but when my grandpa heard they were sending german soldiers to kosovo, he almost had a stroke with anger) I'm not to pleased about it either when germans almost killed 1.5 million serbs during ww2. It would be kindda like sending germans to isreal....holy ****! :)
Thank god there finally protecting the last remaining pieces of orthodox christianity in kosovo. Thanks for that! woot :D
Idiot. I am sure the they are t least as happy to see German soldiers as they are to seee american or british.

Idiot. I am sure the they are t least as happy to see German soldiers as they are to seee american or british.You know the memories of the Second World War are still live in Europe. Your lucky country made a deal (or in fact both sides blackmailed* each other) with Hitler so Sweden avoid the war.
___________________
* - Hitler wants to attack Sweden, but they mined all their mining centres, especially the one located at the mountain filled with iron ore (near Kiruna), which made the best - and only in 40s (there wern't other technology) - steel bearings balls in the world (for example Britons smuggled the balls from Sweden using boats, Mosquito airplanes or even cargo submarines). So the better way for Nazis were to negotiate than rebuild facilities (it could take years). So Germany didn'a attacked Sweden, but this country was forced to sell its iron ore to the 3rd Reich.

In 1940 German industry wants 15 000 000 tonnes of iron, and Sweden sold them 11 500 000 tonnes. If Sweden would destroyed their mining facilities, the Second World War probably was finished in 1940 or early 1941.

It is maybe sounds funny but without those tiny steel balls the whole German industry would collapsed. And in fact, the main reason of war in North Europe was iron.

[M_S]

And in fact, the main reason of war in North Europe was iron.

Germany attacked Norway to control the strategic port of Narvik that was the main sea link to the swedish iron....but I do not think they invaded Norway just because of that ..its not even the main reason.....Taking Norway meant ALOT for the german u-boats...at that time France was not conquered.

No he is not an idiot, it's exactly the way it is in Mitrovica for example. The Germans could only operate in the albanian southern part of the city; they had to be escorted by French soldiers in the northern, Serb part, just like the Americans.

When Serbs saw Germans, they would insult them and some drew their fingers across their throat, in a slitting motion to show what they'd do to them if they caught them.

Remember that 900,000 Yugoslavians died during WW2, that's 3 times more than the number of Americans who died in the same war.

I don´t really agree with that. It´s a myth, and a bad one as well because it´s not based on historical facts, rather on same lame Sweden-bashing. Already in the 20´s Sweden and Germany had established bilateral trade relations. Because the German currency wasn´t worth **** the trading was done mainly by exchanging goods. In example Sweden gave Germany iron ore and they got in example machinery for the same value (in gold) back. This trade continued in the 30´s and 40´s as well, but because Germany needed their machinery, trucks and so forth Sweden got gold instead, the Swedish gold reserve became huge during the war because of this (and the jews claimed a couple of years ago that the gold was stolen from them mainly, but that´s bull****).

Yeah teoretically Sweden could have blowed up the mines, but I have to this date not heard of a state that has commited economic suicide just to help some other country to win a war. Remember as well that early in the war Churchill was not very popular in Sweden. During the Winter War the British and French promised to send 50.000 soldiers to Finland thru Sweden, most of them would probably just have occupied northern Sweden and the mines there, and thus provocing a German reaction. The major fighting would have taken place in Sweden, and not in France, that was probably Churchills intention. So the allies didn´t give **** about Sweden, so I understand if Sweden leaned towards Germany early in the war. Up until 1942/43 the ordinary Swedes were also quite pro-German, which can be seen in the newspapers of the day. But of course Sweden played both sides.

And after april 1940 when Germany occupied Denmark and Norway, the war in northern Europe came to be more focused on Russia, and it definitively became this after Operation Barbarossa. I don´t think the iron ore-issue was a big one, because Germany got it anyway as long as they could pay for it, according to the bilateral trade relations established in the 20´s and early 30´s. (I have studied history at a university here, so I hope that the professors have not been lying to me all too much).

[Mr. Nielsen]

I have an idea that the iron ore supplies to germany from sweden became less critical after the german invasion of france. As they got access to french iron ore?

[fantassin]

French iron ore was and still is basically crap; it's way not concentrated enough and one needs to mine hundreds of tons to get just a little bit of it.

It's called "minette de Lorraine" for the experts in iron ore....
