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.
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)
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).
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.
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
The channel Ahoy does this, and is probably the most popular channel to do so. I'm glad Snipes does because Ahoy doesn't upload much anymore, but he was the OG and the best.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
So are you continuing to do content on COD? Or any other games? I love Sandstorm content, especially about my favourite machine gun ever, and i also have noticed that the COD videos didnt do too well in terms of views, but your content is too good to just stick to one game and you know it.
COD vids actually did exceptionally well. Virtually every vid past the FTAC Gun Guide hit number 1 in views over time charts. And yeah I'm gonna do more COD
Now you mentioned not having a portable weapon like the MG42 but heat about the M1919? I think it was moreso about trying to get the amount of firepower in a smaller amount of weight.
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?)
Is it a bug that I can't use the bipod when attaching a grip on the M60? The same thing happens on the rpk too. Edit: it's not a bug and it makes no sense that we aren't able to use both.
The game only ahs the E4? I swear I read the patch notes said E6. That gun your holding certainly looks like an E6. The E6 is an even more pimped, improved and lighter version of the 60. Denmark even adopted it over the 240.
Hey @sicks snipes I don't comment often I figured I'd let you know not to correct you the original M60 prototypes were based on the FG42 flipped upside down so could feed
Hi everyone - I own the game ono PC and PS4 but I can not seem to get the microphone to work in either of the games... in other games the headset works but not on insurgent... is there a setting I am missing / am unaware off?

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

I like the saw because lots of bullets.
i use welrod
It's lile a 240 but heavier

That would be Denmark then, as the Dutch use the FN MAG (the OG M240) as GPMG.
Danish standard issue. But not Dutch. Dutch uses FN GPMG/FN MAG
Yeah but the e4 is iconic

Just one problem. Armor is useless in this game.
@@Thicc_Boyo What matters most is looking good. For Security that usually means armoring up, and for Insurgents that means a lack of armor.

Correction at 1:28: The M60 is chambered in 7.62x51 NATO not 7.62x54
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.
This channel is an excuse to spend my whole day on yt since it’s “educational”

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS. I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU UPLOADED, I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR AN LMG FOR A LONG TIME.
man.. the amount of effort in these videos just constantly remind me why snipes is amongst my fav ytubers.
I love having the gas system and bipod attached to every replacement barrel
nice vid snipes killed me at 7:24
Yo I actually forgot I was watching an insurgency video the first couple minutes, gave me a whole ass lesson appreciate it
This did not disappoint
Thanks snipes!
IT AINT ME, IT AINT MEEEEE
Good shit dude, another top notch vid
Love your vids, and now the PIG... loving it bruva
Banging vid bruh had me creasing at the grip bit gg well played xx
Starting to love these good ol history lessons and using it in game thx snipes lol
Finaly the day i was waiting for
1:26 The round you wanted to refer to is the 7.62x51mm NATO
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.
@@SickSnipes jk it took me some time to get it entirely right too lol
@@SickSnipes there is way more than 2 or 3.
You meant 7.92x57 for the mg42 and 7.62x51 for the m60.
i feel like the gun guides are sick snipes slow descent into madness
Absolute fire video
Was more excited for M60, turned out the RPK was so much better. Plz do RPK
1:15 uhhh 7.92x55mm??? 1:25 UHHH 7.62x54mm??? wow you really went hard to piss off some gun nuts ... ı approve :D
9:47
My favorite part, I love the Brazilian dancing dog meme. ❤️
what a beautiful notification to wake up to
While watching this I relaxed and took notes.
I like to use it as my run and gun machine gun,lay down shots when need be,but Rambo my way through with a short sight,and everything for recoil
Great vid my guy,do the rpk next
Came for video game advice stayed for the history of the m60
Not just a guide but a history lesson
Get some. Get some! GET SOME!
1:28 I love 762x54 NATO
The m60 with aiming grip, 2x holo, and compensator is so good
Red dot w/magnifier, laser, compensator, extended mag.
A good VC will run. A well disciplined VC stands still.
The snake roar at 8:34 was 👌
SOME FOLKS ARE BORN
Black Sabbath Paranoid but you're a security gunner holding off an insurgent counterattack in the mountains.
honestly that pip aim sistem is so cool, i hate that i dont get it on the ps5 lmao
Amazing video
Big Freedom
Needs more MP7 SS A2
And rutabagas
Im convinced that they added this just so you can hipfire and yell like Rambo
Good vid
Good morning Vietnam!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for rpk203 guide
Ever since this came out I've noticed some people rock the Animal Lover look and I just want to play Fortunate Son
I appreciated the real shit in this vid
I like to think that snipes doesn’t have a script, he’s just a robot that has only knowledge on death and guns.
I like. 👌

All we need is the M1 Steel Helmet and olive green fatigues for the Security. A true Nam experience.
The m60 is still used today by some members of socom
The RPK is the real deal. It's basically a better AKM, and I wouldn't want it any other way
Dam I love dis game
Kinda wish it was the E6, the gun that the Danish Military adopted in 2014.
yo, I subbed to you and you stopped showing up on my recommended until today.
We know the deep real reason why people use m60 in insurgency, because we all want to be Rambo!😆
9:19 i felt that

Yeah, he just wants to cover the M60 and RPK in Sandstorm because they just dropped like a couple weeks ago.
I like to use this gun as a giant DMR
Now you mentioned not having a portable weapon like the MG42 but heat about the M1919? I think it was moreso about trying to get the amount of firepower in a smaller amount of weight.
Bruh I've been using this with recole grip and 50 rnd mags with heavy carrier is carzyyyy
This gun fucks
And so does sick snipes
you'd actually be surprised

I want an M60 with the classic Vietnam looks but E6 internals.
yeah facts. Can't beat the heat shroud on the barrel, looks so retro and awesome
Laser sight fucks on m60, its also funny so win win
rpd was in the old standalone insurgency only took us mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm too long to get it in sandstorm
You are finishing the modern warfare guides after your insurgency videos aren't you?
there's an m60E6 used in denmark
Is it a bug that I can't use the bipod when attaching a grip on the M60? The same thing happens on the rpk too.
Edit: it's not a bug and it makes no sense that we aren't able to use both.
It's intended that way, you either use the bipod or the grips.
@Smonk yeah I don't see the reason for that there is a video shooting the gun with a bipod on and a grip.
