wait... when you say "fired" do we mean, chambered, and fired down the barrel, cleared, and then cycled fully, repeating, or do we mean the rounds just popped off in the stack, not in the chamber.

The 'article' or accompanying video didn't specify unfortunately. I guess it is possible the hottest round would be the one chambered and cooks off, engaging the semi auto chambering mechanism loading the next round and repeat.

If the gun was plastic, the barrel would definitely be the hottest part of the gun. Would still be true if the gun was a lighter metal, I think. Hmmm
