How many rounds can a standard SMG or Assault Rifle fire in continuous full-auto before the barrel starts to overheat and cause problems? What kind of problems would those be? What can be done to prevent overheating? I'm mainly asking because our Rigger has a tendency to have his 1000 round equipped drones fire on full auto continuously.
