M60E4 GUN GUIDE | Insurgency Sandstorm

[@SickSnipes]

Does this beat the M240B? Would you rather use the SAW?

[@sirschleck-alot2140]

Grease Gun

[@Epic-pf8od]

I like the saw because lots of bullets.

[@voytec448]

i use welrod

[@LockyDragon]

It's lile a 240 but heavier

[@danmorgan3685]

I think you get the worst of both worlds with the M60. It's not good up close and lacks the rate of fire of the SAW. Meanwhile, it's not as good as a base of fire weapon as the M240B. That pretty much sums up it's real world performance and why it was dropped. Now US subject states are using it to keep the money coming in. For a GPMG I would still pick the PKM. Funnily enough I like using the Galil for an up close MG. I seem to be an outlier when it comes to the Galil though.

[@samhinder2224]

Fun fact, the E6 variant of the M60 is leagues better than previous models, and is even the standard GPMG for either Denmark or the Netherlands (I can't remember which), and its also the variant we see in game (It's misnamed)

[@dominiqueboot963]

That would be Denmark then, as the Dutch use the FN MAG (the OG M240) as GPMG.

[@Cyan_Nightingale]

Danish standard issue. But not Dutch. Dutch uses FN GPMG/FN MAG

This m60 wasn’t ever in Ww2. The BAR1918A2, MG42, MG34. Bren, vickers we’re all machine guns in Post WW2 conflicts

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

The greatest benefit with the M60’s lighter weight and cost is that on high-credit modes you can roll in with Heavy Armor and Heavy Carrier like a juggernaut with extra credits to spare to have a good sidearm without surpassing the 100% weight limit (bonus if you run builds like this with the Tactician gear and Mandible helmet to look like the badass this thing turns you too).

[@Thicc_Boyo]

Just one problem. Armor is useless in this game.

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

@@Thicc_Boyo What matters most is looking good. For Security that usually means armoring up, and for Insurgents that means a lack of armor.

Yeah 7.62x54R for the PKM & PKP Pecheneg. And man does the PKP in Squad absolutely slaps, I slaughtered a whole enemy squad hot dropping from a heli.

[@nickdanger12345]

You have an awesome idea for a channel. Mixing both historical context of firearms while also analyzing them in game. It's such a good premise that I can't believe other people haven't really done it yet. Do some stuff for COD and you'll blow up like the Hindenburg.

[@SickSnipes]

I would try Ahoy, as his work inspired much of this channel but he hasn't done historical / gun content in years and rarely uploads anything but hour length documentaries anymore

God damn I love this series. Wish NWI would release a new gun every week so you could do more of these. I like the MW ones, but something about insurgency just gets to me. Love this fucking game

[@zacharyharwell351]

Just to save a few people the confusion: 8mm Mauser is 7.92x57mm, and 7.62 NATO is 7.62x51mm Good video though Sick Snipes; I love the M-60 so far, a bit better than the 240. When it comes to high ROF, accurate fire though, nothing beats the SAW with an ACOG set up in a window Edit: I actually disagree on the recoil grip/run-and-gun bit to some degree; me and my buddy do it quite a bit when we play and we slaughter. It definitely takes some adaptation due to the aim speed and reload time (on THAT I definitely agree) but overall its a terrifying close to mid-range room eraser

[@kyles9937]

I couldn't agree more.👍 It's not good at range, but in close quarters, an M60 with extended belt, recoil grip, and compensater shreds like freaking Rambo!

[@gunterstraus606]

I love having the gas system and bipod attached to every replacement barrel

man.. the amount of effort in these videos just constantly remind me why snipes is amongst my fav ytubers.

[@deshroane_official]

1:26 The round you wanted to refer to is the 7.62x51mm NATO

[@SickSnipes]

nah you're right. not even the first time I've said it wrong. Said it in the TAVOR vid too. No idea why. Just so confusing with like 2 or 3 different 7.62 rounds out there.

[@deshroane_official]

@@SickSnipes jk it took me some time to get it entirely right too lol

[@WayStedYou]

@@SickSnipes there is way more than 2 or 3. You meant 7.92x57 for the mg42 and 7.62x51 for the m60.

[@wombatnation1709]

The original proof of concept prototype for the m60 was a modified FG42 with an MG42 top cover and belt feed system.

[@jackreeder215]

Was more excited for M60, turned out the RPK was so much better. Plz do RPK

[@joenutz1161]

Yo I actually forgot I was watching an insurgency video the first couple minutes, gave me a whole ass lesson appreciate it

Im convinced that they added this just so you can hipfire and yell like Rambo

[@ReviveHF]

All we need is the M1 Steel Helmet and olive green fatigues for the Security. A true Nam experience.

[@eikementira1604]

If you need CQC LMG for security on Push/similar modes that limit the guns --> galil all the way, its light, fast bullet vel (900m/s +), better recoil control and have better attachments overall. If you need something on domination: MG3 shreds on hipfire (1000 rpm + decent bullet vel) + bipod (only LMG with this combo: x7 scope + suppressor) and you have the best of both worlds, M249 if you want more bullets and will camp the whole match, otherwise M60 is just another weapon to new players to test, it can be challeging but that's it. If you want to compare 7.62 M240B... the meta on Sandstorm basically is holding power positions and camp mostly so you can get more with M240B than M60, you get penalized getting any grip and bipods are waaaay OP in this game.

[@33up24]

The RPK is the real deal. It's basically a better AKM, and I wouldn't want it any other way

[@tarnished7501]

I like to think that snipes doesn’t have a script, he’s just a robot that has only knowledge on death and guns.

Black Sabbath Paranoid but you're a security gunner holding off an insurgent counterattack in the mountains.

[@mathewfitzpatrick5645]

Hold up, my understanding is that the M60 was loved by it's user for DECADES. The later users of the guns are the people that took issue with it were later use that, by that time had worn out gun (remember, the M60 is a MACHINE GUN, much higher duty cycle than an assault rifle or something). The M240 was "better" than the M60 during testing because the testers did not replace parts at the end of their normal life cycle IN THE M60, but the XM240 started to rip rivets out of it's receiver (IE rip the main body of the gun apart) before the end of the test as well. In other words, the Army wanted a new gun, but didn't care if it was a BETTER gun. (Can somebody say M8?)

It's intended that way, you either use the bipod or the grips.
