Though if you try using certain weapons in sustained fire and you claim it's caseless a clever GM might say that your gun starts cooking off its magazine, on a glitch of course.
Making up drawbacks for a tried and true 100 year old technology, isn't exactly being clever.

He isn't making anything up.  This happens now-a-days with cased ammo.  I've had it happen to me  with the .50 cal M2HB and the 7.62mm M60D machineguns.  Damned bullets fire as soon as they reach the chamber and cycle the action to load the next round until the belt runs out.
I like you already. :)

I wonder if the BAR had been adopted as the standard rifle if we'd still be using it, instead of that plastic jam'o'lot.

The .30-06 is too powerful a round for an assault rifle.

Blasphemy, that's like saying the 10mm was too powerful, people just have baby hands that need toughening! And it was a battle rifle, more or less, probably closer to a modern LSW, but still.
