Amazing considering this is a stock M60 with no upgrades.  I had read all of the horror storeys and expected the worst, but what actually happened was very different.  It actually outranges my fully upgraded SG1!  I have to emphasize this, it did out shoot my SG1, a “just on the site limit” type SG1.  I don’t own a chronograph so couldn’t test it exactly.  The accuracy is also very good with a nice tight cluster on the target.  You can check Sniper’s review for these details.

The Mag is great too and holds 1200BBs that are fed through a tube to the barrel.  The mag is actually the top of the receiver.  The plastic top of the receiver lifts up to get to the mag reservoir, when filled you put the top down and clip it closed with a tiny handle on the side.   The size of the mag is fantastic and not having to remember to wind anything or press and electric mag button is great.  You can fire 1200 BBs in a SINGLE burst!  One thing to remember though is that due to the way the barrel is fed it is not very easy to get all the BBs out if you need to totally empty it, you have to unscrew a fitting to open the tube and get gravity to give you a hand to get them all out. 

The other thing to comment on about firing is the sound; it is noticeably different from the Marui’s.  Where as the Marui’s sound like 50cc mopeds the M60 sounds like a full-on Harley!  I just couldn’t believe the noise; it really did make it sound like a support weapon.
