Description

The MG-60 Light Machine Gun accessory captures the essence of modern squad-level firepower. While fictional in designation, it draws clear inspiration from the German MG3, the American M60, and the Belgian FN Minimi, blending real-world machine gun features into one compact, minifigure-ready design.

Light machine guns (LMGs) became essential in the 20th century, providing infantry units with sustained automatic fire to suppress enemy forces. Typically chambered in either 5.56×45mm NATO or 7.62×51mm NATO, these weapons can feed from belts or box magazines, delivering high rates of fire—often 600 to 900 rounds per minute.

The MG-60 in minifigure form shows off the robust, box-fed style often seen in modern LMGs. It includes a heat-dissipating barrel, bipod stand, and ergonomic grip, reflecting the balance between heavy sustained fire and portability. In real-world doctrine, the role of the LMG is to pin down enemy troops, allowing riflemen to manoeuvre—a tactic perfected during both World Wars and refined in modern conflicts.

Collectors and builders can use the MG-60 to arm their minifigures for squad support roles. Imagine your troops laying down suppressive fire during city assaults or providing cover in defensive emplacements. The design bridges both historical and modern aesthetics, making it adaptable to Cold War or contemporary scenarios.

This accessory is more than just a toy—it’s a tribute to the machine guns that gave infantry squads unmatched firepower and defined battlefield tactics.
