HOW MANY ROUNDS DID IT TAKE FOR THIS BARREL TO HEAT LIKE THIS?

I'm assuming that this is a NATO .50cal. Ammo spent in futility no doubt. Heat sag has a negative effect on trajectory.
That weapon alone is about 30K out of the factory, after the arms dealers make their cut I'll bet it's 3x the price...now factor in the ammo @ $8.00 per rnd x 1million rnds per package, and belted to 27ft lengths.

After 10rnds out of my .50 Steyer, that's 2 full mags in about 25 seconds, water sizzles on the barrel, I've seen cleaning solvent smoke when swabbing my barrel...generally I swab every 3rnds for accuracy and to avoid a buildup of copper particulate.

This must have been one fuck of a fire fight.
