	M60E3 7.62mm Machine Gun
		The M60E3 7.62mm machine gun is a lightweight, air-cooled, disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, portable or tripod mounted machine gun designed for ground operations like its predecessor, the M60.
		However, the light weight barrel is not safe for overhead fire and is not capable of sustaining a rapid rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute without catastrophic failure of the barrel.
		The M60E3 (light weight version of the parent M60) was fielded with the intention to reduce the load carried by the gunner.

	M60 machine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M60E3 variant was designed in the mid-1980s for the U.S. Marine Corps, with a reduction in weight to 18.9 lb (8.61 kg) and a slight improvement in reliability.
		The M60D was equipped on the UH-1B Huey (using the M23, XM29, M59, and the Sagami mounts), the CH-47 Chinook (using the M24 and M41 mounts) in both door and ramp locations, the ACH-47A "Guns-A-Go-Go" variant of the Chinook (using the XM32 and XM33 mounts), and on the UH-60 Black Hawk (using the M144 mount).
		The M60E3 was fielded circa 1986 in an attempt to remedy problems with earlier versions of the M60 for infantry use.

	Modern Firearms - Machineguns - M60
		But it turned even worse when new, lightened variant of the M60, called M60E3, was introduced.
		The only positive thing that could be said about M60E3 is that it has non-removable gas chamber that beared the non-removavle bipods, and the new barrel had the carrying handle that also was used to replace the barrel.
		The reliability of the M60E3, used by US MC, was even worse than of original M60, and one of the main reasons the US MC adopted FM MAGs as M240D was wery poor acceptance of the M60E3's among the troops.

		The M60E3 (light weight version of the parent M60) was fielded with the intention to reduce the load carried by the gunner.
		However, the reduction in weight resulted in firing limitations and a loss of reliability that severely restricts the use of the weapon in the Fleet Marine Force.

		The M60E3, like the M60, may be employed as either an assault or unit support weapon.

	US M60 Machinegun
		The M60E3 7.62mm machine gun was designed as a lightweight replacement to the M60 machinegun but due to problems with the barrel being unsable to sustain rapid fire, it has been poorly accepted by American soldiers.
		The M60E3 has several differences between it and its parent the M60 other than the lighter weight barrel.
		In addition to this, the M60 has an ambidextrous safety, universal sling attachments, a carrying handle on the barrel, and a simplified gas system that does not require safety wire to prevent loosening.

		The M60E3 7.62mm machine gun is a lightweight, air-cooled, disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, portable or tripod mounted machine gun designed for ground operations like its predecessor, the M60.
		It is gas operated with fixed headspace and timing which permits rapid changing of barrels.
		Slightly different from its "parent," the M60, the M60E3 has a receiver-attached bipod which easily deploys for stability.

	TOP M60E3 Review.
		The Cocking handle is attached to a long thin piece of metal on the inside of the receiver and it moves this back.
		I believe this to be the weakest part on my TOP M60E3, as the plastic is thin and some what wobbly.
		The accuracy of the TOP M60E3 is best described in “While you may not hit your target with the first shot, I guarantee a hit within 4”.

		When it comes to cover fire in real steel or airsoft, the M60E3 can't be beat.
		Standard equipment to each platoon of 12 in the US Navy seals, the M60E3 is a must have.
		The Long version is the latest offering from TOP and offers a slightly longer outer barrel but is otherwise identical to the regular E3.

		Posted - May 01 2003 : 06:06:37 AM The Asahi M60E3 is pretty desirable gun.
		If I recall correctly, it was made in larger numbers than the M60 DX (limited to 500) but borrowed the internals from it, so it's an excellent performer...
		Posted - May 01 2003 : 09:46:04 AM I have an Asahi M60E3 Shorty with a Sheriff LRB that will be my primary weapon at Operation Lion Claws in Southern California, Labor Day weekend.

		I know the M60E3 is a little heavy, but I am a strong guy and can bare to heft it around with the aid of a sling.
		03-13-2004 01:52 PM I have both the M60DX and the M60E3 Shorty.
		They all have the same inner barrel length and it's easier to move around with a shorty.
