Hiding in Plain Sight
A United States Army infantryman is seen above, armed with an M60 machine gun. This photo was taken on 1 June 1972, presumably in Europe during Army maneuvers or a NATO exercise. The soldier has creatively camouflaged himself using some of the surrounding flowers and plants. His M60 is mounted on an M122 tripod with the original pintle mount. That pintle was a modification of the model used on the M1919A4 and A6 machine guns. The modification consisted of the large metal platform that attached to the base of the M60 forearm and receiver.
