    Dude! That's with a 'guided' shell. The gun plays less than 50% role in that!! Apples-Oranges comparison!! You need to compare performance when standard shells are fired from both guns 'completely unassisted'. Or both guns firing shells with BB. Even RAP could skew the results depending on the...

You want the jawans to change a 5 tonne barrel in the field?? Even if IA employed the Avengers as the...

    The designers would have set some goals for 'service life'. Further, even with around 100 shells fired, they would have examined the corrosion/micro-cracks to come up with an estimate of the life. They normally don't publicly announce this kind of detail; we'll have to wait for some interviews...
