We had M-60's on our units mutts, and they wheren't of much use while moving, except to convince the bad guys to duck long enough for us to run (drive) away, or at least make us feel good if we had to engage aircraft. Even stopped, they wheren't as accurate as tripod/ground mounts. I had a nug shoot off the top of the fording intake, just above the drivers head. Thank goodness they where aluminum, not steel. He lost control of the weapon, and was trying to hold on to the weapon, and ended up mashing the trigger. Needless to say, he wasn't the gunner for the rest of that FTX.
