M60 ammunition comes in a cloth containing a cardboard box of 100 pre-linked rounds.

The M60 uses the M13 ammunition link, a change from the older M1 link system with which it was not compatible. The cloth bandolier is reinforced to allow it to be hung from the current version of the feed tray.

Historically, units in Vietnam used B3A cans from packs locked into the ammunition box attachment system to roll the ammunition belts over for a straighter and smoother feed to the loading port to enhance reliability of feed. The later models changed the ammunition box attachment point and made this adaptation unnecessary. The M60 has been adopted by various military agencies around the world, it also has been updated and modernized throughout the years to meet modern military requirements. The experimental T-44 machine gun developed from the German and machine guns. The M60 machine gun began development in the late 1940s as a program for a new, lighter 7.62 mm machine gun.

The decision to adopt the M60 instead of foreign designs, like modified versions of the proven German MG 42 or the still-unproven FN MAG, was largely due to strict Congressional restrictions requiring preference be given to the designs of United States arms manufacturers (even if a superior design was available from foreign sources) primarily out of desire to avoid paying licensing fees, but also out of a strong bias in favor of domestic products.

During the Vietnam War, the M60 received the nickname 'The Pig' due to its bulky size. Vietnam's tropical climate harshly affected weapons, and the M60 was no exception.

Its light weight led to it being easily damaged and critical parts like the bolt and operating rod wore out quickly. Even so, soldiers appreciated the gun's handling, mechanical simplicity, and effective operation from a variety of firing positions.
