M60E4

The U.S. Ordnance M60E4 is a variant of the M60 series of machine guns chambered in 7.62x51mm. It was introduced in 1957 and, despite having been largely replaced by the M240 and M249, remains in limited US use as a mounted weapon and in use by other countries.

In game
In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the M60E4 is unlocked at Gunnery Sergeant (lvl. 19). It can be modified with the red dot sight, foregrip and ACOG. The M60E4 is the strongest machine gun in multiplayer, having the best accuracy and power, but with high recoil and a lower rate of fire than the M249 SAW. It's iron sights are considered to be an epic failure. It is capable of destroying a helicopter. It is often used with the Double Tap perk.

Like all the light machine guns in the game, it has a large belt capacity of 100 rounds but also suffers from a slow reload time.

It is available briefly in single player at the end of the level Game Over. An enemy is carrying it before the trucks, BMPs and helicopters arrive. He usually ends up running to a destroyed green car at the far lefthand side of the bridge.
