Hmm, I hadn't thought of this. Assume longevity is extended by ~3x normal for a comparable weapon, probably slightly more (say 3.2x) because of the alternation system.
The rails have to last at least 400 rounds, so I'll say each set of rails can tolerate about 200 shells before maintenance is required, putting us in a nice safe zone of ~600 shells for the whole weapon. And let's say replacment is required at 300 uses (~900 shells total). So this means the rails have to be replaced after full two deployments at worst, with maintenance required after every deployment.
This sounds appropriate for a heavy support weapon, yes?

This puts the AIR FMD-01a at a 62-round maintenance and 93-round replacement cycle.
