The '''M60''' is a family of [[United States of America|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|rocket launcher]]. In comparison to other firearms, the M60 in both games is a devastating weapon, usually 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. The M60 is actually the most effective firearm against [[Police Maverick|police helicopters]], capable to downing one within 36 rounds unlike all other firearms (including the Minigun), which require 176 rounds to destroy such a helicopter.

* In the iOS and Android versions of GTA Vice City, the M60 cannot be manually aimed, but can be automatically aimed instead, like with the [[Ruger]] and [[M16|M4]]. This makes the M60 valuable in the [[Keep Your Friends Close...|final mission]], where the player can take advantage of the M60's auto-aiming ability to kill [[Lance Vance]] before he flees to the rooftop of the [[Vercetti Estate]].
