Only the early versions of the XM8 carbine melted when fired for too long. It was fixed, and the XM8 was actually more cost effective and lighter than the M4 carbine. Besides, its a game and games are meant to help you get away from reality, though i think games should be reasonably realistic. Any one who says the XM8 in MW3 will rip off BFBC2 are fanboys.
