It can overheat if the load is too great, or the load is applied for a longer time than designed (like holding down the trigger in full auto for a minute for eaxmple).

There are a thousand ways to kill a FET. They are actually quite delicate, and can be killed by heat, over/under voltage, stray static discharge, etc.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep discussing what's for dinner.

Freedom is the wolves limping away while the sheep reloads.

Never confuse freedom with democracy.
