Rambo aiming the M60 at the town's power lines in First Blood.
The M60 Light Machine Gun is a 7.62x51mm NATO machine gun capable of firing 600 Rounds Per Minute that John Rambo uses prominantly at the climax of First Blood. The M60 is mainly composed of plastic, and therefore is incredibly light, only weighing around 23 pounds.

Rambo hijacks a truck in a National Guard caravan and asks the driver what weapons are in the truck. The driver tells him that there is an M60 in the back of the truck, and Rambo throws the driver out of the car.

Before he can kill him with the gun, Trautman stops him and Rambo begins raging to Trautman about the horrors of war, ripping the disintigrating 100-round ammunition belt that he had wrapped around his shoulders in half. Rambo then threw the gun across the room, shattering a window. The gun is not seen afterwards and it can be assumed it's been found by the police.
