My first job in the Army

I carried one of these. 23lbs plus 800 rounds of ammo.



Damn, those things were fun!

It's that sound. The M-60 sounds like a machine gun is supposed to sound.

My only complaint in carrying it was it was a stone bitch to do bounding overwatches when you were the Pig Man. Bouncing to your feet and moving in 5-5 second rushes is much easier when you're carrying a M-16.
