    M60 series has cupola built for the M85 50cal HMG. Also Laser rangefinder housing replaces one of original rangefinder. If the side shot had been less obstructed you would have seen only three return rollers versus five on the M48. As much as I loved the M1, the M60 series will always hold a soft spot in my heart!

    An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 310th Fighter Squadron moves into position behind a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 54th Air Refueling Squadron at Altus Air Force Base, Okla. This F-16 was one of the 12 refueled over Luke AFB during exercise Cactus Starfighter Dec. 15. Altus' KC-135 was the only aircraft serving as refueling support during the exercise.

    A 310th Fighter Squadron pilot connects an F-16 Fighting Falcon to a KC-135 Stratotanker for refueling Dec. 15, as part of exercise Cactus Starfighter. Refueling support came from a sole KC-135 Stratotanker out of Altus Air Force Base, Okla., which refueled 12 F-16s for the exercise.

    Nepalese traditional soldiers fire a gun-salute to pay respects to the living goddess Kumari on the occassion of the Changu Narayan festival in Kathmandu on January 19, 2011. Kumari, who appears in public only thirteen times in a year on special occasions, is worshipped by both the Hindus and Buddhists as a living goddess and it is also believed that she is the protector from evil and the bestower of good luck and prosperity

    Why is it so? Do you mean israeli woman recruits thrust the bayonet at a human body? Or bayonet drills were not practiced? Or you are not even enlisted?

    Should I laugh my ass off for this instance?

    I saw the cupola installed on the M728 CEV. Guess that means there's no way to remove the M85s once they are installed?

    It can be removed. I have seen M60s with other fifties, like the AN/M3 installed in place of the M85. If you take a look at the Lebanese Army thread, you'll see M60s without the cupola MG, too.
