Re: Question on how many shots to over heat the barrel
Seriously though dude, I would imagine that coming out of the delivery system you have described, the difference in accuracy is going to be pretty negligible.
I think as the barrel gets warmer and warmer, that level of precision is going to be a gradual change- not like you hit a magic temperature and all of a sudden accuracy just isn’t what it used to be- but again, coming out of an assault rifle to take silhouettes at 500 meters and closer, I would guess its not gonna be a real biggie.
You could always test it out yourself for your weapon and sights and ammo and whatnot, just use a big piece of paper to see the spread of the impacts. I’ve never concerned myself on this topic with an assault rifle, but I don’t claim to be any guru on this one either.
