Add sound to weapon overheating

[CorruptedHeart]

Add a sound to notify the player when their weapon starts to overheat, potentially at 2/3 or 3/3 of max temperature.

Perhaps a hiss or metallic tink sound.

From my experience, you notice that your barrel is overheating when it starts to change color (as one can see in the recreational M60 vid you posted), the ROF tends to rise up and, depending on how much you lubricated your gun, it starts to smoke a lot. Well, in fact its your loader or buddy whom notice it while you are just shooting like a mad not noticing much anymore as your brain is cordite fueled. ^^

As far as I remember, there's no audible sound that gives you a hint of overheat. There could be a sound, I honestly don't know, but the firing itself is so loud that it cover up any other sound. It's the falling tree story here you know.

As for the M249 cook-off you shown, it doesn't look to me to be a cook-off (it looks like a double feeding to me), MG are designed to prevent it. M16 aren't and it clearly is a cook-off shown there, the ammo auto-ignite in the chamber due to overheat.

As for the self-combusting AR-15, I'm not familiar enough with that particular weapon to understand what happens here (could be a lubricant or a part simply not designed to endure such a heat). In anyway, I'm quite sure that isn't a normal use and I never saw or heard it happen in the field.
