The M60E6 is the latest generation of the M60, first adopted by the US Army in 1957. The US weapon was selected over the Heckler & Koch HK121 I ('Infanterie'), a squad support variant of the German HK121 general purpose machine gun, following a trial programme.

The delivery of the first M60E6 MGs, to be called LMG m/14 in Danish service, is expected by the end of 2014.

I would have never guessed that to be the outcome. Kind of a shocker, really.
