Input locks Up - Game Ignores Input.

Question

So, Im making a flight/shooter game. When you hit space (Input.GetButton()) it calls my Weapons script, which fires a bullet via Invoke(), which creates a newly instantiated bullet.

However, if I hold down space long enough or hit it enough times, the game lags breifly, then stops responding to input all together. Nothing. No arrow keys, no space, no A or D. Ziltch.

How did I break Unity this time?

I'd need to see the input code to be sure, but it's theoretically possible to overrun your input buffer.. especially if you have GetButton calling Invoke inside a loop or something.

Inside my PlayerController Script:

 void Update () 
 {
     if(playerVariables.CurrentHitPoints <= 0)
     {
         Destroy(this);
     }
     ActionInput();
 }
 void ActionInput()
 {
     if(Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
     {
         foreach (Weapon w in PrimaryWeapons)
         {
             w.FireWeapon();
         } 
     }

     if (Input.GetButton("Fire2"))
     {
         foreach (Weapon w in SecondaryWeapons)
         {
             w.FireWeapon();
         }
     }
 }

And my Weapon script:

public void FireWeapon() { if(!IsInvoking("FireShot")) { Invoke("FireShot", Delay); } }

 void FireShot()
 {
     instantiatedBullet = (GameObject)Instantiate(Bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation * bulletRotation);

     instantiatedBullet.rigidbody.velocity = transform.root.rigidbody.velocity + 
         transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * BulletSpeed);

     print("Bullet Speed = " + instantiatedBullet.rigidbody.velocity.ToString());

 } </pre>
