re: .... the new .50
Comments were .... since it is a 1100 rds/min weapon ~ 3X the Ma Deuce ....
That barrel must get awful hot!
...... and it is not out in the slipstream either.
US Ordnance has an updated M60-E4 that has a hardened barrel that is supposed to withstand 15000 rds before change out ....
I've seen a video of them running 850 rds through it with one trigger pull .... one minute & 45 seconds of rock & roll!

...... maybe this one has a similar barrel
Here's a pic of the new "stinger" on the 463 53Ds.
