Why should you change the barrel after it becomes too hot?
If the gun gets too hot, the barrel can deform (possibly causing a round to get stuck!), you can burn the heck out of yourself, and ammo can start to spontaneously fire without the trigger depressed, or worse. At the very least, this can easily “burn out” the barrel, ruining it for accurate fire.
Is water bad for guns?
No, you should never fire a gun underwater. There are some pretty common things that happen to guns underwater. Water causes issues with the ammunition, the action, and the projectile ballistics. Once you get your gun underwater, the barrel almost immediately fills up with water.
How many rounds will a AR-15 last?
The average life of an AR-15 barrel is about 20,000 rounds. Let’s generously assume that the average new shooter goes to the range once a month and fires 100 rounds through their rifle per session.
Does barrel Heat affect accuracy?
they take out the magazine and leave it in the sun allowing the ammo to heat. They will then load a single bullet at a time because, although a heated barrel will cause a decrease in accuracy, a heated bullet will be more accurate.
What would happen often that made machine guns inoperative?
The 1914 machine gun, usually positioned on a flat tripod, would require a gun crew of four to six operators. The reality however was that these early machine guns would rapidly overheat and become inoperative without the aid of cooling mechanisms; they were consequently fired in short rather than sustained bursts.
What’s the best way to encourage soldiers to drink water?

How do drill sergeants tell soldiers to drink water?
Drill sergeants constantly reminded idle Soldiers to drink water. Every time a drill sergeant gives an order to drink water, the trainee drops to one knee and takes a drink, Truax said.

Could a water cannon be used to carry a soldier?
However, proper water cannon involves shooting a massive amount of water at really high pressure. This means you need massive amounts of water and a high powered pump, neither of which is going to be very easy for a soldier to carry even without all the other shite he has to hump around.
What do you do if a soldier is injured in heat?
If a Soldier suffers a heat injury, all drill sergeants have completed the Combat Lifesaver Course and can apply ice sheets (iced towels) to the injured. If Soldiers suffers from heat stroke, they can be medically evacuated by ground to an ambulance exchange point where they would be transferred to a Reynolds Army Community Hospital ambulance.
