Before we dive in, let's give you a little history. The Mk43 machine gun is a variant of the M60 machine gun and is widely used by the United States military and other armed forces around the world. The Mk43 is lighter and more compact than the M60 and features a quick-change barrel that allows for quick replacement of a hot barrel during sustained fire. The Mk43 is also known as the M60E4 or M60E6, and it was developed in the late 1990s as a replacement for the M60 machine gun. The Mk43 is typically used by infantry and other ground forces to provide suppressive fire against enemy positions or vehicles. It can also be used in a defensive role, such as when mounted on a vehicle or in a fixed position. The Mk43 is used by the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Navy, as well as by numerous other countries around the world. It has seen combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts.
