ABSTRACT:
Improvements to the M60 7.62-mm machine gun (1) to enable it to be cocked after the cover assembly has been closed without opening the latter (2) to minimize the possibility of a runaway gun (3) to enable a hot barrel to be changed without the necessity of using protective hand coverings (4) to eliminate the necessity of providing a bipod support assembly for every spare barrel (5) to provide for better control of the gun when firing from a standing position and (6) to simplify the construction of the gas cylinder and piston.
