Anyone notice how throughout the saga Rambo almost seems to do better with his knife and bow and arrow than when he has an actual gun?

tell that to the M60 he carried in First Blood pt. 2 I think it fit his mood at the end of the movie quite well!

True he was good with an M60 in the second movie and even when he shot up the town at the end of the first movie.
But look at all the things he took down with just a knife or bow in the third movie.

Truth be known movies like Rambo and the TV show Tour of Duty are where I first saw the M60 in use a lot. And such productions are in part what have elevated the M60 to a unique status as a well recognized firearm I imagine.

It has made the M60 a rather well recognized item... too bad the darn thing was prone to overheating and melting the barrel after so many consecutive shots. but it is a great bit of americana nonetheless!

Maybe he should have used a gatlling mini gun. Then we couldn't have Jessie Ventura in Predator use it and inspire such awe though.
