damn, engaging that close in a war seems suicidal. even 100 yd is too close."The SOF were given a great deal of leeway in adapting their weapons for operations, and the M60 was no exception." ... "The average engagement range during SOG patrols or a SEAL ambush was 25-30yd maximum. The barrel was too long and the front sight unnecessary, so the barrel was cut back to the gas system."
