The M60 machine gun defined squad-level combat in Vietnam—and marked every man who carried it for death.
Born from captured German engineering, the "Pig" gave American infantry something they desperately needed: sustained suppressive firepower in jungle warfare where ambushes came at arm's length. At 23 pounds and 550 rounds per minute, it could stop an entire enemy company. But its distinctive sound was a death sentence. The NVA had one priority: kill the machine gunner first.
This video tells the story of the M60 through the men who carried it—from Lance Corporal Wallace at Operation Starlite to PFC Carlos Lozada's last stand on Hill 875, where a 21-year-old from the Bronx held off an NVA company at ten meters, refusing to withdraw until his comrades escaped.
The armorers had a saying: "You have seven seconds to live."
