2. State the methods for loading of the M60E3 machine gun.: Answer-
There are two methods to loading the M60E3 either by cover raised
or by cover closed
3. State the method for changing the barrel of the M60E3.: Answer- To
change barrels, the gunner pulls the cocking handle to the rear palm
up and returns it forward, ensuring that the bolt is to the rear. He then
places the safety on safe, raises the barrel lock lever with his right
1/
,hand, and keeps his hand on the barrel lock lever throughout the
change. The team leader removes the barrel and inserts the spare
barrel. The gunner lowers the barrel lock lever and places the weapon
on fire, and the gun team continues the mission.
4. List the steps in performing immediate action (hot barrel): Answer- A
barrel is con- sidered hot when 150 rounds or more have been fired in
1 minute.
Cartridge WAS ejected:
Step 1: Push the cocking handle forward to the locked position and
continue to fire.
Step 2: If the weapon still fails to fire, pull the cocking handle to the
rear observing the ejection port. If a round is ejected, attempt to fire
again. If the weapon still fails, follow "subsequent action"
Cartridge WAS NOT ejected:
Step 1: Place the weapon on safe.
Step 2: Keep the weapon pointed down range, into the impact area.
Clear the

, weapon when the barrel is cool (after 15 minutes). Gently push out the
round with the cleaning rod.
5. State the runaway gun procedures while in the assault fire position.:
Answer- If the gun is being fired from one of the assault positions, the
gunner holds the gun
on target until all rounds are expended. No one will attempt to break
the belt of ammunition because doing so would pull the gun off target
and possibly endanger troops.
6. State the maintenance steps before firing.: Answer- Inspect the weapon
for cleanli- ness and proper mechanical condition. Remove the barrel
and bolt, and check the locking recesses and locking lugs for
cleanliness and burrs. Run a dry patch through the bore to remove
excess lubrication and possible obstructions. Place a light coat of CLP
on the bolt and receiver rails.
7. State the maintenance steps during firing.: Maintain a light coat of CLP
on moving parts where friction may occur. Change the barrel after
firing the rapid rate of fire for two minutes or the sustained rate of fire
for 10 minutes.
8. State the maintenance steps after firing.: Answer- Thoroughly clean the
gun for three consecutive work days to remove all powder residue.
Inspect the gun for carbon deposits and remove them with brushes
and CLP. Wipe these parts clean and apply a light coat of CLP.
