US M60 GPMG (Nicknamed “The Pig”, this machine gun replaced the B.A.R and had design elements of the German MG42. Sadly it didn’t live up to the fearsome reputation of it’s European predecessor. It was problematic in the wet and dirty jungles of Vietnam and had to be constantly be kept clean to work. The M60E4 is I think the last version since it is being phased out for more reliable designs like the M240.)
