Quickly went over some of the 5th ed. Rulebook and I came across the Gets Hot entry and saw that it states that a roll to hit of 1 results in a wound to the model. Does this mean that Badrukk's Da Rippa is now safer to use than in 4th, where for his gun, a roll of 1,2, and 3 would get hot, or am I reading the new rule wrong? And the wording of the rule states "the firing model suffers a wound". Does this mean that the wound can no longer be allocated to another model in the unit?

You are correct on all counts, sir.

You could not allocate the wounds in fourth edition either. They had to go on the model firing the weapon that overheated.
