M60 (Fallout 2)

The  is a big gun in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout 2
The M60 is a decently powerful machine gun in Fallout 2, capable of tearing apart most low level enemies.

While it's not as powerful as the Light Support Weapon or the Bozar, the M60 holds the distinction of being the only weapon in the Big Guns class that uses 7.62mm rounds, as opposed to 5mm or .223. It also has a higher damage per shot than any of the Miniguns, making it more efficient when fighting enemies that take more than one burst.

Locations

 * New Reno Arms, after becoming a Made Man.
 * Sold by Lao Chou at Flying Dragon 8

Fallout Tactics
In Fallout Tactics, a new type of M60 appeared, with a higher weight. It is a decently rare gun, and isn't as good as the more imposing, stronger, and longer-ranged M249 SAW. The higher ST requirement for the M60 really dampens its effectiveness as well.

Locations

 * St. Louis, found at remains of Fang Squad
 * Great Bend, found on multiple robots
 * Cold Water, found on multiple warriors
 * Canyon City, found on a robot
 * Buena Vista, found on Percy
 * Vault 0, for sale
