0006600: M249 cooks off without having a jam
I am using ACE3 mod with overheat enabled.
Per ace wiki: https://ace3mod.com/wiki/feature/overheating.html [^]
"Open bolt weapons (most machineguns) cannot cookoff unless jammed."
The M249 is an open bolt gun and thus shouldn't cook off without a jam.

This suggests to me that the configuration file for the M249 is incorrectly configured as a closed bolt gun.
Enable ACE3 mod and the default overheat settings.
Load a scenario, place a soldier with an M249 and enough ammunition.
Shoot around 6-800 rounds.
Watch the cookoffs happen, even if you cleared any jams.
The CUP M249 doesn't cook off without being jammed.
No tags attached.
