A clearer view of the M60 from a promotional still. The marines in the film are dressed more like US soldiers than South Korean marines, wearing M81 BDUs, PASGT vests/helmets, RBA vests, etc. Reportedly the ROKMC disapproved the of the film's premise and thus the marines in the film are wearing US-spec gear and uniforms instead of authentic ROKMC ones.
