No doubt the M2HB is the Duece. However, try humping one. We tried it once in Vietnam in November 1968 in trhe Bilong Valley. One guy carried the tripod, another 2 barrels, the T&E Mechenism, bolt, mount, and trigger plate & lastly the receiver. I can't even remember who carried the ammunition. This lasted 3 days. Total dumb ass act and didn't get to use it.

I can attest to the value of an M60 and here I am, then a Sergeant with a M60 working a bunker on the base perimeter of DaNang Air Base, Vietnam in 1968-69. This concrete bunker I'm in here was built by the French who were there before us and looking out over rice paddies. There is a Vietnamese Village across the from My position here. Also above, highre up a walled roof with a 50 Caliber was mounted there
