Let's break this down into simple thermodynamics. If you have a gun, and it constantly overheats, it's going to need a radiator/heatsink on it. Still with me? Once you have appropriately determined if said weapon needs cooling, you need to then decide what type. Air flow will dissipate heat off of a hot barrel. Kind of similar to the "blow on soup to cool it off"-method. Still with me? Another way is to submerge said barrel in a water tank. The water is colder than the barrel is and will draw heat away from the barrel. Hence heating the water up. This works similar to most vehicles, but instead of water they use coolant (neon green).

Do machine guns cool by water or air?
Both air cooled and water cooled machine guns have been made.
What is difference between army post and army base?
An Army installation is called a post. Base is used by the Air Force and Marine Corps.
What happens to the air temperature when air transfers energy to a cooler object?
The air will cool down, while the other object gets hotter.
What is Difference between natural draft and forced draft in modern furnace technology?
natural draft depends on:ambient air conditionsconditions of the leaving gaschimney height
Difference between helicopter and fixed wing aircraft?
Fixed wing- air is moved past the wings to create lift. Helicopter- the wings (rotor blades) are moved through the air to create lift.
What is the main difference between warm and cool humidifiers?
A warm humidifier will warm the air and make sure it is moist. A cool humidifier just pumps through cool air that has been enriched with moisture from the internal water store.
What is the difference between water loom and air jet loom?
difference between air jet loom and water jet loom
Difference between air transport and water transport?
differece between water and air transportation
What is difference between dry air and atmospheric air?
the difference between dry air and atmospheric air is that atmospheric air contains water vapor but dry air contains no water vapor
Why droplets of water appears on the outer surface of the cool water bottle?
It's called condensation. The temperature difference between the bottle and the surrounding air - causes water to condense out onto the bottle's surface.
Cool off faster in the air or your hand?
Objects cool at a rate depending on the temperature difference between the hot object and its surroundings. Probably the hand is warmer than the air, so usually the object will cool faster in the air.
What is the difference between air conditioning and refrigeration?
'One stores food and the other keeps your house cool!
What is the difference between air gap and air break in plumbing?
water distribution system ===
What is the difference between cool and cold?
cold is more bitter than cool. e.g: air=>breeze=>wind weep=>cry smile=>laugh difference only magnitude or intensity.
What is the difference between cool mist humidifiers and warm mist humidifiers?
A warm mist humidifier heats up the water causing steam to rise and humidify the air. A cool mist humidifier uses a wick filter which uses either a fan to blow through the filter and blowing the water in a fine mist or a metal diaphragm which vibrates water particles into the air.
Is there a difference between water pressure and air pressure when it comes to popping a balloon?
No.
What is the difference between mist dew and water droplets?
A water droplet is any very small volume of water. Mist consists of very small water droplets suspended in or slowly falling through the air. Dew consists of small water droplets that form directly on solid surfaces as water vapor condenses from cool, moist air.
