I wonder how many shots a barrel lasts?

My question would be how mant shots would one's shoulder last?

At 4,000 FPS for a 450 grain slug. I wonder if one used a sabot if one could get escape velocity and one's personal space program? Maybe that will take a 37mm necked down to .17 cal.

Yeah, lets neck one down to .17, why not?

I think I would not shoulder the 20mm/.50, but crank it into a very large vise, adjust it via a closed circuit camera scope, and fire it remotely.

I think that's probably the only shoulder arm in the world that really deserves to be called a single-shot. I'd sure want more of a shoulder pad on mine!

OTOH, it looks like it weighs about as much as a crankshaft. That'd probably help the recoil situation a little bit.
