850 rounds, 1 minute 45 seconds, one pull of the trigger. Awesome.
Not sure why they consider that "New and Improved". The old pig had a cyclic ROF of 500 rpm. By this video they are close to the original specs, 25 rds shy actually. :)
(edit= pig is the nickname of the original M-60, before the "Rambo" grips. My first true love)

They are probably boasting the fact that they can shoot 850 rounds out of the weapon with ONE PULL OF THE TRIGGER with out having to change the barrel. That is saying something about the gun.
Too bad they didn't improve the M60's before the M240 replaced them all. M60 was always a troubled weapon, not the greatest American design, especially the early ones.

I like the SAW a lot better, much lighter. The pig really is.

Sure is.
If you did that with a regular pig you'd have a runaway gun about 300rds into the 'burst', even if the bbl didn't melt.
Runaway guns are no fun when the guy operating the weapon doesn't know how to safe it.
Nice silhouette pictured on your avatar there, Mr...Whitman was it? Yes. ;)
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

That means its cyclic rate of fire is 485 rds per min - means its carp and meant of old women. Even the good old L4 LMG have a cyclic rate of fire of 550 rpm and the MAG 58/ M240 has a cyclic rate of fire of 750 rds per min. ;)
