A discussion on how long shotguns rifles and revolvers last with proper cleaning. Shotguns can endure over 100000 shots with minimal pattern loss, while 22s and revolvers reach 30000 to 40000 shots, and high power rifles 3000 to 5000 shots. Barrel wear rises with higher explosive pressure. If 100000 shots are fired a shotgun barrel is exposed to powder flame for about four minutes.
