M60 or RPD?

[dreadedtrash]

My friends are taking me out to MFL for my bachelor party and we were going to rent a RPD or the M60. I was thinking of going with the M60. What are your thoughts?

I'd go for M60, make sure you get a wig, red bandana and wrap yourself in a long belt:

7.62x39, ... just get an AK.

They are both ab last to shoot. I think the m60 is a lot softer shooter. But I liked the rpd better.

I always liked the M60. The M240 is fun, but the 60 was always a good time.

Having fired an M-60 before I would choose the RPD just because I have not used one. The 60 is nice though. Flip a coin!

my reasoning:

1. M60 - 7.62x51/.308 60-80 = cents per round surplus
2. RPK - 7.62x39 = 20-25 cents per round

also

how many people own RPK = very many
M60 = very few
*rarity factor

just mine $0.02

It will be range ammo though, so I'm sure it will be marked up quite a bit.

correct not range ammo prices - cheapest stuff that you can find online. range would be selling same at 30-50% markup

Last time I was there I and I rented the AK, I think it was ~$18 for 20 rounds. Haven't been back since though.

If it was between an M60 and a PKM - that would be a tough one.

This one: M60, hands down!

My God get those boys to pony up and get you both!

M60 no question. I was there recently and the M60 was out for repairs So I had to settle for an MP5, which is fun as hell.

is there some Russian holiday that I'm missing, I haven't had any vodka since afternoon:

RPK, PKM ... OP is talking about RPD, not a Kalashnikov.

M60 all the way. I carried one and while it was a pain to carry at times it was worth it when it came time to shoot. Me and the pig in Germany early '80s.

 

[oniriggers]

M60......all the way...fire from the hip...advancing fire..well you cant really do that at MFL

Bring your asbestos gloves!!

I was across the channel (England) in the early 80's, carrying the m60 sometimes. Although being AF we just had to carry it to our APC's and if needed mount it onto the machine gun turret. I loved shooting it though. The ammo cans where more of a pain to carry though. It was a long walk to the APC from the armory (lol).

both. they are not true friends if they do not do this for you.
