It changes everything especially FSAPDS and HEAT ammunition.
Spin imparted by rifling is detrimental to the operations of these rounds.

Konsa better hai rifled ya smoothbore

 

[Eagle Eye]

First question: YES. we can and do manufacture domestic 125mm smoothbore.

for logistics 125mm sb gun for arjun mk2 is better. Are we going to relay on west for ammo?

Smoothbore.. for apfsds and heat.
Only hesh needs rifleling .
HE doesn't matter both work equally well.

APFSDS you can still get away with slip rings - HEATFS, not so much.

Konsa better hai rifled ya smoothbore

In today's world Smooth-bore is much better.
Its simplifies your FSAPDS round. It can also fire HESH and HEAT.
FSAPDS round tends to have more penetration capabilities in smoothbore than rifled.
Canister shot is also possible.
It simplifies CLGM.
Thermobaric round is also simplified.

First question: YES. we can and do manufacture domestic 125mm smoothbore.

The Arjun's gun is a Rifled gun, and only rifled guns can fire HESH rounds - which are not anti infantry but anti fortification/anti old school tank armour. Doesnt work too well against composite/era armour.

As to why we went for 120mm instead of 125, because the entirety of the west uses 120mm and thus the best APFSDS rounds are all in 120mm.

chinese do fire HESH from their 125 smoothbores

Only, we can not use those best rounds because they are designed for smoothbore guns.

No , drdo has developed a whole bunch of indigenous ammo for arjun .

You can use them, at less than optimum efficacy though, with slip rings

Yes, with slipper bands, of course, but that would also mean that you will need to import them in CKD configuration and then have them assembled in-house, which will simply defeat the purpose.
