- The M60, officially the United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, is a family of American general-purpose machine guns firing 7.62×51mm NATO or modified 7.62×54mmR cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links. There are several types of ammunition approved for use in the M60, including ball, tracer, and armor-piercing rounds.

This type of engineering is so nice to watch. You're a legend for making it as clear as possible.
thank you so much
"Toddy get him off would ya"
I’ve always wondered how a weapon like this actually works. Partially because I just finished watching Breaking Bad. (No spoilers)
good morning 🙂🌅💗
Very educational american class
thank u
good video! i always wanted to know how the belt was pushed to chamber a new round
thank you
Would be interesting to know why did the M60 designers choose to use this bulky two part piston system instead of simpler gas block and piston like on the ZB-26/Bren gun.
Probably because it’s an old gun made in the 1950’s. It took a lot of inspiration from German machine guns after ww2
The action is from the fg42 which fired closed bolt in semi auto and open bolt in full auto but they dumbed it down to only fire open bolt in the M60 and the belt feed system is from the MG42. The MAG 58/ M240 they replaced it with uses the same belt feed system as well.

nice เข้าใจกลไก100%
Gun! Gun! Gun!
lol
But It's M60
TERRIFIC GRAPHICS...
But there should be someone Telling the viewer what is happening in each phase!!
What moves the firing mechanism back after each round is fired ? What pulls the next round into position to be pushed into the firing chamber? How are the Links released from the 2 rounds that it holds together? How does the M60 reduce recoil to almost zero? I know these answers... but I have Trained and used this weapon.
A person coming to this video to SEE "This is how..." is NOT going to know these answers... THAT is WHY they come to watch the video!
100% agree. I have no clue what's happening even while I am a Mechanical Engineer
@@Benderboy121898 a peg on the bolt is indexed in those arms attached to the top cover, which swing back and forward when the bolt recoil. When they swing, the feed tray is moved left and right which pulls cartridges through the use of small arms. The bolt is locked into the barrel by the firing pin, which is also connected to the gas piston. The gas piston/firing pin assembly are connected to the bolt in a little cam track. When the gun fires, the gases push the piston and firing pin back, camming the bolt. The locking lugs are rotated out of alignment with the locks and the residual pressure in the chamber and gas system push the bolt back to cycle the gun and perform the ^above mentioned about the arms and feeding.
Why do You think the M60 designers choose to use this bulky two part piston system instead of simpler gas block and piston like on the ZB-26/Bren gun?
That's what Ian at Forgotten Weapons does for us. I came here after watching his video on the M60.
The M60, the M240, and the PKM all seem to have the same flaws in their operations. The recoil spring is too small for a full power cartridge and the bolt bottoms out against the back of the receiver. Only the M240 puts a hydraulic buffer in the stock to help cushion the blow a little bit. They all seem to take cues from the Gehwer 43 which puts a small recoil spring directly behind the bolt. It was not a successful design. A better choice would've been the M1 Carbine as a jumping off point for creating a new machine gun. It had a long recoil spring that runs along the length of the rifle and a light weight bolt carrier that had a low reciprocating mass. American weapons never got the respect they deserved in post World War 2 weapons design's instead they copied the designs of the side that lost two World Wars back to back. Go figure.
