I get like 5 kills per game with my 9M with DOUBLE HEATSINKS.

Make sure to tell your Mom, maybe she can hang a screenshot of it on the fridge. Really your macho chest thumping anecdotal stories have no value in math based discussions on game balance.

Errm, do electric motors drive the auto-loaders for the ACs?

If so, do electric motors generate a lot of waste heat?

Electric motors are almost certainly involved, but the waste heat they generate should be negligible. Waste heat in ACs is strongly implied (if not explicitly stated) to be due to burning propellant.

Even taking this into account, is it realistic that the amount produced is even remotely comparable to that of a similarly damaging laser? Probably not.

It's best not to think about it, really. Heat just happens, and the ony goal should be to happen it in a way that creates interesting trade-offs between weapons that still overall lead to a balance diverse game.
