[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2193645, member: 101791"] I see that you were never was in combat. I have watch the tracers bullet flit out the end of the barrel many a time with 50cal and M-60. I have watched as the tracks back up and pour fluid on the barrels, or changed out barrels. So of the 50 cal's were so hot that rounds would cook of in the chamber mec. With 3 troops online we could go through 1,650,000 rounds in a short day. We had done that more once. Now I realize that this isn't combat, nobody should ever get their barrel that hot. It happens and people are stupid. I have seen plenty of times people heating up there barrels at the range. Car-15's on full auto in 3 clips of 18 round each are to hot to hold by the forearm after that. I know I carried one in Vietnam for about 5 months. Carry an AR-15A1 for about 7 months and I have put as many as 50 clips of 18 rounds in a fire fight. Forearm never got the hot I couldn't hold it. I figure I would throw this into the mix for the *ell of it. Not trying done anybody, and it doesn't really apply here either. Barrels can get really hot, and to hot or it's own good. [/QUOTE]
