They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating http://www.kptv.com/news/16161182/detail.html Afghanistan Firefight Heard On Voice Mail "His friend died a year ago in Iraq and I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, this may be the last time I hear my son's voice on the phone,'" Petee said. They heard shooting, swearing and shouted pleas for more ammunition on the phone call from their son. "They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating," said Jeff Petee. "It's something a parent really doesn't want to hear. It's a heck of a message to get from your son in Afghanistan." The three-minute call ended abruptly. ****** What's he using that's having barrel overheating problems?

Re: They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating Fire enough rounds through something fast enough and anything is likely to overheat. He might have been carrying some type of SAW. M249 perhaps.

Re: They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating They need to get a massada...... the barrel doesnt overheat. But then again why would manufatures want to help the troops? They want to maximum amount for the bloated contracts. T

Re: They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating The SAW is what I would guess as well. - But it must have been a really really hot firefight....

In this case, looks like he's OK: They eventually reached their son. "I finally got a hold of him," Sandie Petee said. "He was embarrassed, he said, 'Don't let Grandma hear it.'" Stephen Phillips is scheduled to return home next month, when his tour is complete, his mother said.

Re: They were pinned down and apparently his barrel was overheating Barrels can overheat on almost any rifle or squad weapon. But I am unsure if this would result in any of the unfired rounds 'cooking off'.
