[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 867268, member: 25383"] I must have shot 10,000 rounds thru an M60, and never had a cook off, but I did have the classic runaway a couple times while spraying and praying thru two or three belts real fast. Nice thing about them is all you gotta do is twist the belt. I always was the number one man, and always left in rock & roll, but there was never anybody in front of me that was friendly. The guys behind me used safteys. Going out the other side the first guy out #3 man carried the 79, and as soon as he touched the ground he flicked the safety off and came up behind me on my left side with the radio right behind him. He was key to hitting anything with the M60 after two belts went thru it. I stayed away from the other three guys as I didn't trust them, safety or no safety. The only gun I ever trusted the safety on was a model 12 shotgun, and that safety didn't work! Always wondered how many guys got shot by friendly fire in close contact due to safety issues alone. Walking in the #2 slot was always scarey, and you didn't know what some fool behind you was going to do. I knew one guy that had a grenade land in his lap (ours), and only to have a bad fuse! The guy raised so much hell that I thought he was going to shoot a couple guys behind him and me. gary [/QUOTE]
