There's always the SAW:

Based on the M-60 design, chambered in .308, rapid firing, but able to be fired from the shoulder.

Also chambered in .223 for those that prefer mouse rounds:

There are the guns the machinegunners amongst Navy SEALS, etc. carry.

More practical than an M-60 for the "Badass Rambo" effect.
