M-60: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:19, 12 May 2012

Tommy Vercetti wielding the M-60 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

"Military issue M60s. Now found as a weapon of choice for well funded private militias."
-Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description.

The M60 is a family of American general purpose long range machine guns. It appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, making an appearance as a heavy weapon, alongside the Minigun and the rocket launcher. In comparison to other firearms, the M60 in both games is a devastating weapon, killing in one shot, and destroying vehicles in a small burst of shots. It is arguably one of the best automatics available to the player, however the slow fire rate makes it slightly weaker than the minigun.

A similar weapon, the Advanced MG, appears in The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Variations

It appears in Vice City and Liberty City Stories as the original M60. Its bipod has been folded and the box magazine is not inserted. Instead, the bullet belt drapes off the gun.

Locations
