Someone asked the question in this thread http://invision.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=5047 about about how much continuous fire untill you damage a weapon barrell.
I thought this recent clip about the new XM8 Assault Rifle to replaces the M-16 was interesting: Observations include: • It's more versatile than the old M-16 rifle it will replace and should fire thousands of rounds before jamming, rather than the few hundred shots before the M-16 typically jams. • It's much easier to clean and maintain. • Training time is reduced since it's a single weapon that can be modified to fire short distances, long distances, launch grenades, etc. • It should last longer, with barrels able to fire 15,000 rounds before being replaced rather than the 6,000 to 9,000 rounds it takes to wear out an M-16 barrel. Developers are trying to push the XM8 barrels to 20,000 rounds before replacement. The XM8 will cost more to make initially, but should settle into a full-rate production cost of $600 to $700 a copy. That compares to $500 for the M-16 and $950 for the M4 carbine. Source: http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/...3/mn/mn01a.html |
