M60 machine gun

Perhaps the most infamous weapon in the game due to a well-known early balance issue; the release version of the game featured a US kit with the M60 and LAW, with the M60 extremely damaging [you pointed it at people and they died] and accurate enough to be used for sniping. This essentially meant games boiled to to re-enactments of Rambo: First Blood Part 2, only with the same number of John Rambos as Vietnamese. This was quickly addressed in patches; the M60 was placed in a kit with the M79 rather than the much more powerful LAW, and both machine guns were made drasically less accurate.
