Admittedly, you are no expert. Neither am I, but the question I have is:

How often is the gun used to strafe ground targets in the first place? If
the gun isn't used much, there isn't much point to wasting the space/weight,
is there?

Well, considering they're working on a 100KW laser for the plane,
if they get it to work, the gun will become obsolete.

If they get the laser to work, missiles will probably be obsolete, too.
