I was pretty impressed by the barrel being stainless steel. That's for sure. That said getting into metallurgy and all that is a whole different ball of wax. Different products are meant for different things and full auto is really a speciality thing if you ask me, the hardness, the heat, how the metal expands, and at what temperature, etc etc. I've tried to burn the barrel off of an MP5... we had that thing just SMOKING but not all barrels need to be able to stand up to that kind of abuse. I don't know what kind of metals are in an HK but it ain't stainless steel :)
