Inspired from WWII MG-42s or the Browning M1919, these MGs had to change their barrels after sustained fired, otherwise they had the risk of overheating and bullets would cook inside and explode by themselves.
In MWO, if we want MGs to deal good dmg without becoming OP due to their no heat nature, we could add a separate heat scale on said MGs. Fire for too long, and they'll get a 5 secs CD where the barrels need to cool off.
Opinions?

In game MG's have a rather low firing rate, though I'd love a firing rate closer to that of the MG-42 of course you'd burn through half a ton of ammo in 60 seconds. Also mechs have internal cooling systems. cooling a small machine gun would not be a challenge. Likely why cannon MG's have no heat.

How about you try brawling at 0-120m and see why machine guns have no heat.

if you overheat with MGs, you activate flaming MG mode
