Actually, I did the above test twice, with identical results. I should've mentioned that. However, I got curious about various ammo types, and decided to do some more testing.
This time, I picked up Minimi SPW and fired a 100-round bursts with the Ball, 885 and 995 ammo types.
Ball: Overheat at 90-100 round mark, Condition: 2%, Dirt: 11%
885: No overheat, Condition: 0%, Dirt: 4%
995: No overheat, Condition: 1%, Dirt: 7%
2 bursts with each type, and quickload between bursts. I have no doubt that the ammo type matters in the game as far as dirt build-up is concerned. However, I'm not sure if:
A) Ammo type directly determines how much heat is generated during firing, or
B) Dirtier guns produce more heat when fired
