What's the feasibility of the US Army and Marines adopting the Stoner 63 Commando in the role of a SAW or Light MG in the Vietnam-era (specifically mid-60's)? The Commando is way lighter than the M-60 and would give a good base of fire weapon to the infantry fireteam.
I'm asking because I've been kicking around the idea of a timeline involving improved mechanized US Army fighting in Africa in the Cold War (where Africa is the big focus instead of East Asia).
