      OK, sure I guess so for like an assault rifle, but a belt fed machine-gun?

      How many rounds can a machine gun put out before that beer-can gets as bright as the sun and starts to droop like a limp dick?

        You’d be surprised. I think the last torture test I saw had 700-1000 through before the can melted off, but that was just holding the trigger down. You’re risking melting the barrel at that point, too. Remember, 3 sec bursts is the rule. Found one.
