Well, this is where it falls down a bit.  Due to the weight and size it becomes quite an impractical Airsoft weapon.  It does work very well in the support role.  Fully loaded it is too big and to heavy to bring to bear in a standing position and use properly (or am I just pathetically weak).  However with the bipod out and in the prone position this AEG really comes into it’s own (well, that’s what it is designed for).  The M60 DX is a very tough beast and has no flex or wobbly bits to worry about; it’s built like a tank!  One trick I did find worked was to remove the bipod, which cut the weight considerably and made the M60 usable in a standing position, also very handy was using the sling and firing from the hip (makes you feel like Rambo for sure!).  On the whole I will use it but only when I’m feeling strong.

Say this thought there is no denying that sitting in a bunker with the M60 pointing out with the Bi-pod down waiting for the enemy to appear from the trees creates a feel you just will not get with an MP5 ;o)
