Oh for cryin' out loud. How flipping retarded can a person be?
The M-60 is a belt-fed machine gun. It is not an "assault rifle".
"
Beat me to it. Anyway, the thing is perfectly safe inasmuch as it does not have a bayonet lug...
but it's black and has a pistol grip...
But it's got two of them deadly pistol grips!
I wonder how many of these are out in the wild on the black market..
I bet a *ton*
Well, I'm doing my part. I've just sent this thread to my friend in South Dakota who owns Jack First, Inc. If you've ever needed gun parts, chances are you are familiar with that name.
Or a "high capacity magazine".
;o)
I have a mental picture of Chief Deputy Hondo. No, I just have an opinion of his mentality.
quite a few would be my guess....
When I first read that I was thinking that we were soon going to see footage of a tank rolling down the road with 50 police cars behind it as it smashed everything.
Where was it stolen? If taken at the auto gun shoot it would be in the Grove or Miami areas or even the Tulsa area.
I'm not sure how the Joplin P.D. got involved in the case.
Humped one all over the world.
"Assault rifle????"
What an idiot.
BTW, when I went through Army Ski School, I never learned what to do with the poles. Both arms were hugging the 60.
You should see me ski now, both pole held on a sling...
Do I have to give it back? I was using it to trim trees in my back yard.
His and Hers M-60s for sale.
So does my hair dryer! Should I go turn myself in now??
It's a light machine gun that came out during Vietnam. Had a pretty bad tendency to jam if you didn't know each individual M-60's "personality" and tendencies. Once the gunner got to know the gun, it was generally pretty reliable according to my brother (Major, US Army), but you need to be able to go from one machine gun to another if one breaks in the middle of combat without having to learn its idiosyncracies.
HENCE...the Australian-made M240 Bravo that replaced it. Its reliability is legendary. You can have the ammo belt running through dust, dirt, rocks, water, mud puddles, and it will keep right on firing as if the belt was sterilized like a surgical instrument.
I wonder when this was. June 21st this year was Tuesday, this says Sunday June 21st.
To be fair, this is not a quote from Chief Deputy Hondo, but a paraphrase in the words of the reporter, Darrell Todd Maurina. (Why am I thinking Darrell is a girl?)
