Info on M1917 Browning water cooled MG

Smellie....you say that the MG42 barrels could be changed out in 5 sec. Does this mean the barrel is no longer useable, or was it just to let it cool down, and then used again after the cool down time?

they also had a tray to fill with water that could catch the hot barrel that layed next to the weapon, but i have never seen a picture of one in action
