The weapon was not very popular (during the Guadalcanal landings it proved to be quite sensitive to sand and salt water) and was not used much by the USMC, it was handed over to the US Coast Guard Beach Patrol, the units guarding the coast of the United States, and other second-line units. It was also used to arm landing craft crews and the like, and was used only in limited quantities by the USMC. It was manufactured by Harrington & Richardson Arms, and production apparently ceased in 1945. The submachine gun was also used by security guards of important factories, and it remained there (also due to its low price) for a very long time. Sometimes the gun is blamed for rapid corrosion, but this is probably due to the place of deployment (i.e. the jungles of the Pacific islands)

The weapon was initially tested by the army on the parade ground Aberdeen and was found to be quite satisfactory, but was not accepted for its sensitivity to pollution and the need for a gun to constantly maintain a clean, which was in the field conditions considered to be problematic. The end of the year 1941, the gun was tested and USMC at base Quantico and was subsequently ordered in the number of 100 000 pieces. From the first half of 1942 was supplied mainly to the services of the airborne troops and the "Raiders" therefore the elite units of the USMC, subsequently i 1. and 2. division USMC. combat was used in the Solomon islands (such as Guadalcanal) and earned her a distinctly bad reputation. Besides the already mentioned sensitivity to pollution, it turned out that the tray is poorly designed and leads to a jam hub, which allegedly led to the construction of a single-row tray for 12 rounds (I couldn't verify whether it was and whether it was this magazine normally comes). Another problem showed up the hole in the handguard (on the underside) which could easily get your fingers shooter and due to the fact that there is a part of the system of weapons causing injuries. In the version with folding stock issued by the airborne and osádkám vehicles were due to bad design of the stock to drop while shooting, which also did not lead to popularity. In 1943 they were therefore all Reisingy downloaded from the USMC and replaced by other weapons (for example guns M 1) before but members of the USMC weapons "lost" in action and nahazovali is conventional rifles, where appropriate, the stolen sub-machine M 1 from the infantry units. The contract was cancelled after delivery of 55000 pieces and other weapons USMC, like, deleted. Weapons downloaded from the units were further used posádkymi vessels, coast guard and national guard. Part made get to the loadout of Canada (she used to be in guarding pow camps) the next part of the armament of the USSR (here but apparently were not used due to the caliber and inappropriate characteristics, as well as the sub-machine M 1 is also supplied with vehicles)during the war then the guns were delivered and the police and other armed forces. It is not entirely clear how many guns were really made, the number 100 000 units refers to the original order that was cancelled, so the overall number could be significantly lower. Later there were semi-automatic version of the M 60 but it is no longer postwar gun for the civilian market, maybe editing of non-supplied weapons.
