Do you have the video clip of the bomb strike against the Iraqi Information Ministry where the blast wave goes past the vidoe camera lens and sparks shower down through the field of view onto the street below?

It would be a great addition to your compilation plus I'm looking for it. 8^)

I don't think that's an M-60. It has largely been retired in favor of the FN GPMG / M-240, the big brother to the SAW.

After several days of (MRE) Meal Ready to Eat and chow hall food, soldiers stand in line at the Subway consession stand which reopened at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, Friday March 28, 2003. The consession stands bring a touch of home for the soldiers supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

A British Royal Air Force ground crew member marshals out a Harrier GR7 at their base in Kuwait, prior to its mission over Iraq, March 29, 2003. U.S.-led forces mounted one of their fiercest air assaults yet on Baghdad on Saturday, targeting the center and outskirts of the city with repeated bombings that drew blasts of Iraqi anti-aircraft fire.

M2's (some) do indeed still have a dovetail mount for a scope but I believe that is just a leaupold spotting scope being held on top. Could be the USMC 10X unertl mounted but I can't see it well enough to be sure.

Stay Safe !

What is wrong with the media?
They cover mainly --or only-- defeatist talkers and antiwar rallies.
 
 
 
You certainly are correct about that.
 
You are making a big difference with your posts.
 
Thank you so much!

Sorry, that’s not an M-60, that is a SAW or Squad Automatic Weapon, you can tell by the barrel and the flash suppressor on the tip and M-60 has a much longer flash suppressor and also the butstock, and upper receiver are different.
