I was certainly thinking specifically of the machine gun in this case as some players, myself included, find it greatly satisfying to have a gun that when you're good at aiming: pays off. You should be able to happily mow people down with it. Still, after giving it some further thought and taking in to account such scenarios when people just sort of spray it all over knowing eventually people are going to die because of it's power, then overheating would be a solution. I think, where i've seen people make references to Quake, I was worried because Quake frankly took it too far in my opinion - i.e. it overheated far to quickly to be a satisfying gun to use. I would suggest making it similar to the minigun in UT, and overheating if necessary, perhaps with each bullet ever so slightly weaker and taking a decent amount of time to overheat.
