I believe it... Can't hardly hold the stock handguard on my middy after firing ~90rds in rapid succession... (making sure everything worked fine when it got hot)

Lots of military and military-style arms are like this (that is, semi or full auto guns). I mean, the fact that they heat up so much after a great deal of firing. They're designed to withstand that, but it can't be avoided most of the time. Can hardly hold onto your gun after 90 or 100 rounds? Think about some of the other firefights that our boys overseas have gotten into. Take the Somalia conflict... the incident on Oct. 3rd when two blackhawks were shot down. Those guys on the ground expended hundreds of rounds each in a very short time-span. Many were using M-4's, but a majority of them were still using the older M-16's. Then there are the SAW's, CAR-15's, and heavy guns like the M-60's that expended thousands of rounds each in the same time-frame. It's kinda crazy to think about. Nice find Decatur! Quite cool!
