The M60, officially the Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, is a family of American general-purpose machine guns firing 7.62×51mm NATO cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links. There are several types of ammunition approved for use in the M60, including ball , tracer , and armor-piercing rounds.
The 12.7mm NATO cartridge, also known as the .50 BMG, is standard for heavy machine guns. Tank ammo has also been standardised across NATO with 120×570mm NATO ammunition being in use in all NATO tanks except the British Challenger 2, though the Challenger 3 will use 120×570mm NATO ammunition when it comes into service in 2027.
