It was also a tank before the M1 Abrams.
Yes, but there was an M1 rifle before there was an M1 tank ;-)
I suspect that M1 and M60 are not the only numbers that the US Army
recycled.
M60 was also a "General Purpose Machine Gun" (GPMG). I can't tell you
how many I had to repair because of "probably user error" (Closing the
cover with the bolt forward!)
D*** rookies never learned! :-)
