| Motor can, wires can, switchboard can, but for the actual GB- I don't think gears can overheat, unless I'm missing something. | |

| truelly all a GB really is is a series of gears set together in a metal box. thus they shouldnt but the power source, motor battery wires that all come before it can overheat. | |

| Killbucket could best answer this, I seem to remember an experiment with an M249, contstant feed system, 50,000 BB´s, Trigger Lockdown, Non-stop Firing for like 10 Min, towards the end the Gun wasn´t sounding to healthy, but it was still shooting.
Kill ?? Care to jump in here?? | |
