Enjoying a 100 round belt dump on my suppressed M60e3!

This is an incredible gun to shoot. I carried a M60e1 for a while when I first entered into the Army right before the M240B was fielded. What I remember about it was that it was heavy, sucked to jump with, and was a pain in the ass to keep clean and functioning. I was pretty happy when the Army transitioned to the M240B and I never really thought about the 60 again until years later when I worked with some SEAL teams that were using the M60e3 within the SEAL platoons. This newer iteration included a shorter barrel, reduced rate of fire, and a vertical fore grip for easy control. While still heavy, the gun weighs slightly less than its predecessor, and is easily fired from the shoulder and manageable during sustained fire.

In this barrel I swapped out the SEAL length barrel for the longer USMC contract barrel that was in use with the Marine Corps when this was fielded to them. The benefit to the longer barrel is a slightly longer gas tube which, combined with the longer barrel, allows it to shoot suppressed a bit better. The suppressor is a custom built suppressor from @RexSilentium which includes his custom "beefy baffles". While this is not a item listed on their website, they can build any can this way which includes more robust welds, and thicker walled baffles to better handle the sustained full auto fire seen here.

This gun clocks in at about 550 rounds per minute which is a bit slower than the original M60 and was done on purpose to allow the ammo carried within a SEAL platoon to last longer while still providing a 7.62 suppressive fire weapon.

I still don't want to carry it on a patrol, but I have to say this thing is a dream to shoot compared to the M60 I carried years before.
