My mother found a belt of fired blank ammo on M60 links that had been reassembled over 20 years ago for me (before I even thought about serving myself) by an older friend who was a 1st sergeant in a reserve unit. My first thought was to reassemble the links with live ammo and hang over my reloading bench as a conversation piece.

Anyway, this got me to thinking, what other weapons does m60 linked ammo work in?

MG1/3/74 (basically an MG42 in 7.62x51), the FN MAG58/M240, and the M134 minigun.

Don't forget the FN Mk.48 Mod.0, basically an M249 scaled up to .30 cal. I belive the designation for the 7.62x51mm desintigrating feed belt is M13. Also, the .50 BMG links for the M2 are called M7 and the 5.56mm links for the M249 are M27.
