About this mod Author’s original text
MG60 Lightmachine Gun
The MG60 was an experimental West German LMG made by Rheinmetall as a means to be an improvement of the MG42 with lighter, cheaper and lower rate of fire weapon for the Bundeswehr. It was chambered for 7.62×51mm NATO and used a roller-delayed blowback action, rather than the MG 42’s roller-locked system. Unlike the MG42, the rate of fire was significantly lower between 800-1000 RPM to be much more usable.
The experiment didn't really go anywhere and the Bundeswehr adopted the MG3 anyways.
In order to operate the MG60 properly, remember to lock the bolt back to be able to release the top cover. After firing your belt or box, remains of the linkage can stay, so swipe away, tilt or lift up the feed tray to clear it! And remember to also push your bolt handle forward to avoid mishaps.
Features
- German made MG42 but cheaper and only experimental prototype
- Comes with 50 round belt or 150 round belt box magazine!
- Accept muzzle devices and has hidden rail on the top cover

Note
- Belt can be wonky and might be a bit performance intensive for some machines, this is just why belts aren't used in H3!

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
