M60 (Fallout 2)

M60 is a Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel weapon.





Damage: 18-26 normal

Location:
 * Fallout 2: You can buy it from the NCR and San Fran shop dealers sometimes.
 * Fallout Tactics: First found in St. Louis, unless you can steal it off a bunker guard.

Description:
 * Fallout 2: This relatively light machine gun was prized by militaries around the world for its high rate of fire. This reliable, battlefield-proven design, was used on vehicles and for squad level fire-support.
 * Fallout Tactics: The 7.62mm M-60 saw widespread use with U.S. and allied forces during the latter half of the 20th Century as a light machine gun. It could also be mounted on vehicles.

Notes: This gun should have been made so you get it early, so you can see what big guns are like. It isn't too useful near the end of the game because of the Bozar. The good thing about it is that like the Tommy gun, you can fire 5 bursts before you have to reload. The ammo near the end of the game isn't that rare, so you may want to use it to save .223 FMJ ammo.

The gun model for Fallout2 bears stiking resemblence to the sparcely seen FG 42 assault rifle of the German Army during WW2.
