I was at my armory this past week speaking to my supply NCO, and he showed me something neat: a whole rack of M60s. He said that we're not going to issue them, and they are only visiting our armory until our 240Bravos come in, so that our TOE (Table of Organization and Equipment) is followed. I asked what will happen to them, and he said they'll probably sit in another arms room for who knows how long until they are destroyed.
It's a shame the US military has so many firearms that have seen so much history, but they will never be appreciated by anyone because of a few silly laws. Racks and crates filled with surplus M4s, M16s, SAWs, older M60s, etc. Not to mention the even older Vietnam, Korea, and WWII weapons that are probably collecting dust in warehouses all over the country. None of which will see the light of day because they can't be transferred yet the Army can't find a use for them. Either that or they'll probably get sold to one of our third world allies to rot in the jungle or desert. It's a shame.
