You do know that the time the guns take to cool off in gameplay isn't actually what happens canonically, right? 'Cause if it were, all soldiers would just slap two Frictionless Materials VII on their assault rifles. There, the end, fire away. No, in the actual story of the game, the weapons take a good while to cool off.
