[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 586495, member: 30902"] Full auto creates an enormous amount of heat very quickly. In M-60's you could turn the barrel red hot with one 20 second burst. AR's can get so hot in a fire fight the ammo will cook off in the chamber if you don't restrict yourself to 3-5rd bursts. Melonite treatment has been shown however to work very well at extending barrel life with the kind of shooting we do. One problem with it though is once it's done you'll never be able to do any more machining on that barrel so you won't be cutting it off and setting it back like you can a barrel that hasn't been so treated.
