The M85 .50 cal. machine gun in a cupola of an M60 series tank uses 200 round belts on M15 links.
But most every source on the M60 says there's just 180 ready rounds for this gun.
Does the box in the cupola hold less than a belt? That would be stupid!
Nope, it holds a whole belt.
What's happening is a stop on the feed system that keeps the TC from firing the last 20 rounds of that belt.
This is to allow them to reload the gun more easily.
So 180 is the ready amount.
