Little Armory [LA108] M60E3 type

[Machine Translation] The M60E3 is an improved version of the M60, a general-purpose machine gun developed by the U.S. after World War II.The M60 debuted with the requirements of a general-purpose machine gun, but various problems came to light through actual combat. The E3 version was developed to solve these problems. It was lighter, and the handle and bipod positions were improved, but it was eventually replaced by the more reliable M240 machine gun. However, its performance was highly regarded by some, such as the Navy SEALs, who continued to operate it even after the M240 was introduced. The M60E3's rugged design also made it popular in the world of action movies, where it was used as a "big gun" by muscular actors and actresses, adding a touch of glamour to the classic films. This kit is a 1/12 scale model of the M60E3. In addition to the gun itself, a soft plastic belt-linked bullet is included. Barrel length and length can be selected. Use of adhesives for plastic models is recommended.

M60E3は、第二次世界大戦後にアメリカが開発した汎用機関銃M60の改良型です。M60は汎用機関銃としての要件を満たしてデビューしましたが、実戦を通じて様々な問題が浮き彫りとなりました。これらを解決するために開発されたのがE3バージョンです。軽量化やハンドル・バイポッド位置の改良が施されましたが、やがてより信頼性の高いM240機関銃にリプレイスされていきます。しかし、その性能を評価する向きもあり、海軍特殊部隊SEALsなどはM240登場後も本機を運用し続けました。さらに、その武骨なデザインはアクション映画の世界で人気を博し、筋骨隆々の俳優たちが操る"ビッグ・ガン"として、名作に華を添えています。本キットは、M60E3の1/12スケールモデルです。銃本体に加え、軟質樹脂製のベルトリンク弾が付属します。銃身長短が選択可能です。※プラモデル用接着剤使用推奨
