These look great. Just one comment … the M240 GPMG did not replace the M60 GPMG in the US infantry units until the early 1990s. The 240 was used as a coaxial MG in the M60A3 and the M1 starting in the early 1980s. |

Yep, that's my understanding as well. M60s through the end of the Cold War. Need a prone M60 gunner. |

Can't speak for other units, but the 10th Mountain Division had the M249 in '88/89. I think the 9th ID had them earlier. |

1989 was the end of the Cold War, by many peoples' calendars. 1991 for the fall of the Soviet Union. |

10th Mountain Division had the M249 in '88/89 82nd still had the M-60. Always the last to get anything. |
