What I meant with that is, say you shoot a couple of times with Lando without completely overheating the weapon. If you don't shoot anymore, the delay before the gun manually cools down by itself is 0.6 seconds. This is different between different guns. For example, with the default Heavy gun, the delay before this gun cools down by itself is 5 seconds. If you force a manual cooldown it is 2.5 seconds. For Lando it would be 1 second.

So basically: Cooldown Delay - Amount of time before the gun cools down by itself, when it is not completely overheated. Venting - When you force a manual cooldown of the gun. Overheat Penalty - The flashing effect that you were talking about, this is the delay before the gun begins to cooldown when it has overheated.

I hope this all makes sense. :)
