My understanding of the problem of excessive wear would be that when the rate of fire gets the barrel really, really hot, the burning of the leade is then at a greater rate. This would reduce accuracy insofar as group size in "normal" shooting at a target.

I don't know if a high rate of cycling causes more wear than a slower rate, for a given number of cycles. Just a guess, but probably not...
