M60

"Military issue M60s. Now found as weapon of choice for well-funded private militias."

- GTA Vice City Website.

The M-60 is a weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description
The M-60 is a family of American general purpose long range machine guns.

The machine gun made an appearance in GTA Vice City as a heavy weapon, alongside the Minigun, the Flamethrower and the Rocket Launcher. It can be bought by Tommy Vercetti from Phil's Place.

The M60 is the strongest firearm in terms of damage per bullet; the M60 takes down a police's helicopter within 36 rounds; whereas the Minigun, all handguns, all sub machine guns and all assault rifles need 176 rounds to take down one. Additionally, M60's bullets knock targets down just like shotguns and the Python, it can aim in first person just like assault rifles, unlike them it has a 100-round load, it has a long range accuracy, and it is the only Heavy Weapon which the player can both move to a normal walking pace and jump with it.

It appears in Vice City and Liberty City Stories as the M60E1. It is replaced by the M249 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Ballad of Gay Tony (in the later, named "Advanced MG" and placed in the Assault Rifles slot instead of the Heavy Weapons slot), and in Grand Theft Auto V by the MG. Its bipod has been folded and the box magazine is not inserted. Instead, the bullet belt drapes off the gun.

The firing sound is shared with the Hunter's chain gun, although both are completely different weapons.
