M60E4

From the Call of Duty Wiki

The U.S. Ordnance M60E3 is a variant of the M60 series of machine guns chambered in 7.62x51mm.[1] It was introduced in 1957 and, despite having been largely replaced by the M240 and M249, remains in limited US use as a mounted weapon and in use by other countries. In game, it is incorrectly called an M60E4, which is actually a variant with a much shorter barrel.[2] The M60E4 and Mk. 43 Mod 1 Navy variants of the M60 are the last to be produced before the military switched to the M240.

It is available briefly in Singleplayer at the end of the level Game Over. The only enemy found carrying it jumps out of the passenger's door of the first truck carrying troops to arrive to you, when the bridge is destroyed. (This truck will hit the brakes, ram a car, then reverse). He usually ends up running to a destroyed green car at the far left hand side of the bridge. Also one of Zakhaev's bodyguards is armed with one but this is unattainable. This M60 also fires at faster RPM than in multiplayer, probably due to weapons having different stats in singleplayer and multiplayer.

In Multiplayer, the M60E4 is unlocked at level 19 (therefore being the first available golden gun). It can be modified with the Red Dot Sight, Grip and ACOG Scope. The M60E4 is the most powerful machine gun in multiplayer, but has very high recoil and a low rate of fire compared to the M249 SAW or RPD. Make note though that the RPD kills in the same number of bullets in many situations (except that the M60E4 can get a two shot kill without Stopping Power, though not at long range). It is often used with the Double Tap or Stopping Power Perks, with Stopping Power being more effective at long range and Double Tap being more effective at medium and close range.

The M60E4 with the grip attachment is less popular because of the large, obstructive iron sights.

When using the M60E4 with an ACOG scope, crouching or going prone causes the sway to be reduced by a fourth, making the M60E4 one of the better weapons to use with an ACOG.

Like all the light machine guns in the game, it has a large belt capacity of 100 rounds but also suffers from a slow reload time and slow speed when switching to it. Thanks to its high damage per round, some players couple an M60 class with Sleight of Hand, in order to cut down on reload time.

The M60E4 is also one of the weapons that has a Golden skin.
