Thanks for the page reference. So typical is 100 rounds within a minute, and I see the extra rules for weapons designed for sustained fire which increases this and talks about spacing bursts. Nifty!

Question: Does the TL overheat modifier count against the TL of the design or TL of manufacture? (there's a TL overheat modifier for TL6 and TL8). For an M16, would you treat it as TL7 always, or would you use the TL of manufacture? So an M16 built at TL8 gets the 1.5 modifier?
