These things vary with air temperature and actual rate of fire .

For the MG-3 you can shoot until it glows red or white , but jams or involuntary discharge is then a definitive possibility.We are talking a lot of rounds - maybe 500 - 1000 in a short time .

For peace time purposes we always changed barrels after 100 rounds -to train the drill and to lessen wear on the barrel.
maybe a rule could be that if fired continously for more than 6 phases ( shots in every phase ) a jam roll is made to see if teh barrel has overheated and jams ..?)
