Zimmerdylan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 OK......I have flown in many a Huey in my day. Back in the early 1980's I probably flew 2 times a week, or at the very least, once every couple of weeks. But that was over 30 years ago. But in all those years, I never remembered an M-60 that had handles and a lever. It's kind of like our Huey has a bastardized door gun that's half Browning .50 cal. and half M-60. I just wish it had the punch of the .50....... This has always been something that I noticed but never thought to ask about until just now. Is the DCS M-60 like this because it would be much more complicated to model the gunner in the shoulder posture? Just curious. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayns414 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) The Door gunners used a variant of the M-60 Called the M-60D. the pistol grip was removed and had the same setup as a M2 .50cal for firing, being the 2 handles Edited October 7, 2017 by mayns414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesD Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think I remember seeing one on a 47s ramp before the 240's came along. https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m60e3.htm Now shipping up to website Pre-Order Form date 2022/06/01 Pre-Order Form Submission https://pointctrl.com/preorder-form/ PointCTRL Support Discord https://discord.gg/jH5FktJ PintCTRL Website https://pointctrl.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmerdylan Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 After sifting through a bunch of photos on the internet. I see some pix of these. I never saw anything like this while I was in though. Always shoulder stock on the choppers I flew in. But at least now I know they actually exist. Thanks for pointing it out to me guys.

DaveRindner Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I served in the 1990's. I recall in high Tier FORSCOM units (10th, 25th, 24th, 82nd, 101, and associated 18th ABN Corps), and Avn. Bats UH-60, UH-1(N.Guard), and CH-47 crews used M240 series for self protection. M-60 was still there in many National Guard armories, and was widespread in TRADOC units. High readyness active duty units converted to M240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 did anyone notice the sound of M-60 is a bit weird? I mean watch the peacemaker heli scene when devoe tells them to shoot back, the sound is completely off. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below.
