Having no experience with the -60, I asked Pops about it.

He said the Air Force at one point gave them M-60D(with spade grips) as door guns and he said they were the worst guns he dealt with in Vietnam. They shortly went back to .50 cals and mini-guns.

And I agree with Tuck, the idea behind the -E3 variant in appealing, or having something like the Mk-48 the SOCOM guys get.
